Arm Sensors Make Robot Smarter
Using arm sensors that can "read" a person's muscle movements, Georgia Institute of Technology researchers have created a control system that makes robots more intelligent. The sensors send information to the robot, allowing it to anticipate a human's movements and correct its own. The system is intended to improve time, safety and efficiency in manufacturing plants. The press release can be found here: http://www.news.gatech.edu/2014/01/14/human-arm-sensors-make-robot-smarter
