Every once in a while you see something that proves how technology advances. The electrical Engineering Department at the University of Washington has been working on a voice controlled robot; The Voicebot. It is a vocal controlled robot arm that uses non-verbal vocalization for enabling interaction. Singing allows for continuous control in the manipulation of real world objects. This project is heading in an interesting direction. This will eventually allow people with motor impairments to control automated devices such as robots and prosthetic limbs. It is amazing what technology can do and how it can help people in many ways. It is nice to see the development of technology be something that is usefull rather then just a new ipod or application for a computer.
