Walky: Operating Bipedal Walking Robot by iPad

We propose an operating method for bipedal robots by using two-fingered gestures on a multi-touch surface. We focus on finger gestures that people represent the human with moving fingers, such as walking, running, kicking and turning. These bipedal gestures are natural and intuitive enough for the end-users to control the humanoid robots. The system captures those finger gestures on a multi-touch display as the direct operation method. The capturing method is easy and simple, but robust enough for the entertainment applications. We show an example application with our proposed method, and demonstration at the international exhibition. We conclude with the results of observation and future implementation of our method.
