We’ve been using body movements to controls those virtual characters on screen, but when it comes to robots, we still use computer peripherals.

Now, to change that, with a tinge on modernity, fuRo Future Robotics Technology Center have developed the WIND (Wireless Intelligent Networked Device), which is a wearable robot controller, yes that’s right. Decked into a vest are sensors, which translate the user’s movements into commands to wirelessly control a robot.

This control by WIND is allowed with use of a SiP (System in Package) chip, which is a full functionality personal computer on a single semiconductor. See the wearable device in action after the break.
