Teloperated robots have been around for a long time. They can be used for remote meetings or manipulate things in dangerous areas. People with limited mobility may have problem controlling them. This video shows a head worn assistive teleoperation system for mobile manipulators.

The system consists of an interface with inertial measurements integrated into a hat. It allows for teleoperation with residual head motion. The above video shows how this system works.

Here is an open source project that can give you an idea or two on how to build your own haptic gloves to control robots or interact with VR objects. Remote Feelings has 4 sensing resistors built into each finger. When given a command via USB or wirelessly, the motors can give your fingers feedback so you can feel virtual objects.

The above video from Adam Curtis shows how this glove works. More information is available here.

In the past few years, we have covered plenty of fancy wearable robots that can assist workers with tasks on a daily basis. The SPORTSMATE 5 is a robotic exoskeleton for consumers. It has fitness and outdoor modes, so you can use it to add resistance to your workouts or assist you in hiking.

The SPORTSMATE 5 comes with 2 actuators to lift your legs and push you forward. It lasts up to 3 hours in this mode with 18 Nm assistance torque. In fitness mode, you get up to 10 Nm of resistance torque. You can use it for pilates and outdoor training. More information is available on Kickstarter.

Having 6 fingers can have certain benefits. With an extra thumb, you will be able to grab and open a bottle with one hand or peel a banana. This robotic third thumb can do that and more. It can be easily controlled by wiggling your toes. University College London researchers are behind this project.

The bad news? Something like this can confuse the brain over time, making users less certain about how their hands work.
