Most human interactions with the environment depend on our ability to navigate freely and to use our hands and arms to manipulate objects. Developing natural means of controlling these abilities in humanoid robots can significantly broaden the usability of such platforms. An ideal interface for humanoid robot teleoperation will be inexpensive, person-independent, require no wearable equipment, and will be easy to use, requiring little or no user training.
