Neat, right? It’s a multi-touch command and control interface created by PhD research student Mark Micire over at UMass Lowell Robotics Lab. Built using Microsoft Surface, it uses multitouch to select and control the robots, and pan and zoom on the map where commands are executed, along with showing data like text and video. With a tool like this literally at our fingertips, how are we not meant to create a robot underclass? Anyway, no need to fear the technological singularity any more.[via Make magazine]
