[Kinect Hack] Let the Robot Copy Your Moves

Robots are widely used, for example in productions lines where it only has to repeat same set of actions again and again. Researches are trying their best to add intelligence to robots. So, they can be utilized in various tasks where the set of goals may vary from the situation. In this post I am not going to discuss Artificial Intelligence. It is about a amazing Kinect hack that makes a robot copy its controllers movements.

Kinect is not only a gamin device. For sure all the mind blowing hacks allow it to use for various tasks. Out of them this is the best I have came cross, so far.



Isn't that amazing. Possibilities are endless. I need to mention that there are good as well as bad usage of this kind of technology. However, that cannot be controlled. Lets talk about good side of it. Just because Kinect is a Microsoft product, it dose not have to be bad. It can be used for rescue missions, space missions and for various research explorations where humans cannot reach. On the other hand it can be widely use for next generation warfare. One soldier can control ten or may be thousands of robot soldier units.
