| If you wave your hand or make a “come here” motion, embedded boards process that movement using cameras and AI so cobots can “read” your body language and act accordingly. It’s a hands-free way to work, which can be a game-changer when your hands are full or you’re in the middle of something important.
Why This Matters The ability to communicate with cobots using simple gestures, voice commands, or facial expressions means smoother workflows and less downtime. No need to stop and adjust the cobot manually or spend time figuring out complicated interfaces. You just interact the way you normally would with a human coworker, and the cobot adjusts on the fly.
And let’s not forget safety—cobots that can anticipate your actions and respond in real-time are less likely to cause accidents. If they can read a stop signal from your hand or notice you look unsure, they can prevent mishaps before they happen.
Embedded boards are turning cobots into more than just machines—they’re making them collaborators that can understand and react to humans in real time. Whether it’s processing a simple voice command or picking up on your facial expression, these boards give cobots the tools to interact in a way that feels intuitive, natural, and safe. And as this technology evolves, we’re only going to see more seamless, human-like interactions between workers and their robotic teammates.
