Human–robot interaction (HRI) and gesture-based control systems represent a rapidly evolving research field that seeks to bridge the gap between human intuition and robotic precision.

But up until now, these "robots" needed a direct contact with the person in control. This is where Madeline Gannon comes in, with her new gesture-based interface between humans and machines.
