Abstract :
Looks at how roboticists can use wearables as a development platform for the sophisticated robots of the future. Wearables provide a way for computers to share our experiences. For wearables to serve as a robotics platform, their sensing ability must he comparable to a robot´s. Fortunately, because wearables and robots operate with similar goals and constraints, they already use many of the same types of sensors, including cameras, microphones, and accelerometers. High-end wearables and robots benefit from better sensing and greater mobility, so their designs tend to use the latest small, low-power sensors
