Abstract
As mass-market video game controllers have become
more advanced, there has been a recent increase in
interest for using these as intuitive and inexpensive control
devices. In this paper we examine position control for a robot
using a wiimote game controller. We show that human motion
models can be used to achieve better precision than traditional
tracking approaches, sufficient for simpler tasks. We also
present an experiment that shows that very intuitive control
can be achieved, as novice subjects can control a robot arm
through simple tasks after just a few minutes of practice and
minimal instructions.
