At TheEngineRoom (TER), a research group at the Department of Informatics, Bioengineering, Robotics, and Systems Engineering of the University of Genoa, we focus on human-robot collaboration and research novel and intuitive interaction modalities to facilitate communication between the Human and the Robot. We are currently working to integrate different wearable devices into a framework for human-robot interaction. Furthermore, we develop hardware and software interfaces using gestures to mediate the human-robot interaction. At Maker Faire, we present the results of our work with an interactive demo. In our demo, you will be able to control and interact with Tiago, a bimanual manipulator robot, using gestures and body motions. In particular, you will be able to:

i) Use your arm motions to teleoperate Tiago to navigate the environment.
ii) Use your arm motions to teleoperate the robot arms.
iii) Send discrete commands through a specific set of gestures.
