Using the eSense Wearable Earbud as a Light-Weight Robot Arm Controller

Published:17 February 2020Publication History

ABSTRACT

Head motion-based interfaces for controlling robot arms in real time have been presented in both medical-oriented research as well as human-robot interaction. We present an especially minimal and low-cost solution that uses the eSense [1] ear-worn prototype as a small head-worn controller, enabling direct control of an inexpensive robot arm in the environment. We report on the hardware and software setup, as well as the experiment design and early results.
