Engineering researchers have developed a hybrid machine-learning approach to muscle gesture recognition in prosthetic hands that combines an AI technique normally used for image recognition with ...

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), also known as brain-machine interfaces (BMIs), offer hope to those who have lost the ability to move or communicate. The pattern-recognition capabilities of ...

A soft patch on the arm could soon let you steer robots with simple hand movements, even while your whole body is in motion.

Hand movements are often treated as a nervous tic to be suppressed, but a growing body of research suggests they are one of the most powerful tools a speaker has. Across lab experiments, large-scale ...

Recent progress in camera systems, image analysis, and machine learning have made optical-based gesture recognition a more attractive option in most contexts. However, current methods are hindered by ...

What if it was as easy to add a new gesture to Microsoft Kinect as it is to create a keyboard shortcut? Big data startup Kaggle just launched a machine learning competition to develop an algorithm ...

Researchers are developing a new technology that uses hand gestures to carry out commands on computers. Researchers are developing a new technology that uses hand gestures to carry out commands on ...
