Smart Robot System (2 of 2)

Caption

Using arm sensors that can "read" a person's muscle movements, Georgia Institute of Technology researchers (professor Jun Ueda, left, and Billy Gallagher) 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.
