Researchers are developing a system that would allow surgeons to control both computers and robotic scrub nurses via hand gestures.

Tokyo University engineer Tsuyoshi Horo has developed a novel system for controlling robots (or in this case, a moving stool) using a simple set of hand and body gestures. The researcher is ...

The Kinect's ability to map terrain in 3-D and to recognize and respond to human gestures could eventually be teamed up with aerial drones and rapid-response teams to launch rescue operations.

The bot is controlled by the user's gestures using a hacked Kinect controller and turned into robotic movement of the Arduino controlled claw. The claw uses servos to move it around.

The rather temperamental delta robot enlists the ever-hackable peripheral in combination with Processing and Arduino to mimic the movements of a user's arm.

Gesture recognition company eyeSight has said that its newest gesture control software is capable of detecting depth and simulating 3D tracking using only a standard webcam or other camera.

PointGrab wants to cut smartphones out of the home automation equation, and instead allow you to control your home with simple pointing gestures.
