Gaze-controlled Robot Gets a Video Demo

The future is upon us. Researchers from the Technical University of Denmark and the IT University of Copenhagen have created a sight-controlled robot. The bot is based around a LEGO NXT-G kit. It gets paired with a webcam and a laptop that’s connected to the robot via bluetooth. Then the magic happens.
The robot uses an eye-tracking system that allows users to control the robot simply by looking in certain directions. As you can see from the video below, it works surprisingly well. The researchers hope to eventually use the technology to help wheelchair-bound patients.
