##Project Goals:

The RobotHAZMAT project is a design team made up of 10 Virginia Tech Senior Mechanical Engineers. The primary goal is to develop a method of intuitive gesture control for a robotic system for hazardous response situations. Current hazardous response robots require large amounts of training time and unintuitive button-joystick controls. We hope to increase the range of motion as well as reduces the training time required to operate these systems.

• This is a first year project serving as a proof of concept that two arm robots can be intuitively controlled through human movement.

• We hope to be able to develop the robot as well as the wearable user interface using readily available, inexpensive parts.
