Abstract

Disclosed herein are devices, methods, and systems for controlling a robot or assistive device that allows the robot or device to find and manipulate objects in a real world environment. The disclosed devices, methods, and systems may, in many cases, receive control input through monitoring, tracking, and analyzing the 3D gaze of a user/controller. Using the described 3D eye tracking, a user can directly and naturally look at an object of interest in the real world, while the system monitors, tracks, and records the user's 3D gaze position. This information, in many cases, is then translated into input commands for the robot or assistive.
