This video by Carlos Gonçalves demonstrates the operation of a virtual keyboard using a regular webcam and readings of the user's head movement. The idea is to design an input system for people with impairments that cannot use conventional mouse or keyboard. Following developments include more robust techniques to detect command gestures.

This is the video accompanying the paper entitled "Manipulator control based on the dual quaternion framework for intuitive teleoperation using Kinect" (LARS/SBR 2012). In the paper, Kinect is used to enable robot teleoperation. Since only hand position measurements are available, the operator's left hand is used to set the robot operation mode. Current works involve integrating wireless motion sensors to enable obtaining hand orientation as well.

This is the video accompanying the paper entitled "Interactive Manipulation Between a Human and a Humanoid: When Robots Control Human Arm" (IROS2011).

In the paper, a novel approach in human/robot collaboration is presented, where the robot controls not only its arm but also the human’s by means of functional electrical stimulation (FES). The video illustrates the method, as well as experimental results in a “ball in the hoop” task using healthy blindfolded subjects.

This video illustrates first trials which explored the combined use of inertial sensors and Kinect to estimate joint motion for rehabilitation applications. This integration has indeed a great potential due to the complimentary roles both sensing systems feature. In this particular video, accelerometers and gyrometers are used to estimate joint angle, while the Kinect is used for initializing the inertial system and for enabling 3D visualization of the performed task.
