What we are building now
You look at a task on a screen and confirm it with a nod or a key. The software passes the instruction on to the robot. This works with a normal camera and needs no extra hardware.
In development
Research: controlling a robot without a remote
Today an operator steers the robot with a handheld controller. Our research goes one step further: the robot should understand what a person wants directly from that person. We start with the eyes. The long-term goal is control through brain signals.
We are working on robots that you control without a remote.
This research is separate from our rental and sales offer. Rental robots are always run by one of our operators.
The person chooses
You look at an object or a task on the screen and confirm your choice with a nod or a key.
The software understands
Our software reads the choice from a normal camera and turns it into a clear instruction.
The robot acts
The T800 receives the instruction and carries out the task.
Where we are and where we want to go
The long-term goal
The robot should follow signals that are measured from the brain. That needs measuring equipment, tests with volunteers and an ethics approval. We take these steps one after the other.
The robot we work with
Our platform is the T800, a full-size humanoid robot that supports our own software.
We are looking for research partners in the UAE
Universities, labs and companies that work on robotics, artificial intelligence or brain signals: write to us. We are happy to show you where we are.
