A few months back, some of you may remember this, I posted a thread about US military robots and the pictures showed them using 360 controllers to control the robots. Today I found this...
"US Army robots using Nintendo Wii
The latest high-tech military robots are being controlled by something lots of you might find in your living rooms - the controller from a Nintendo Wii.
Because the Wii-mote is easy to get to grips with, it's now being looked at as away of directing robots that are used to clear dangerous mine-fields.
The controllers that were first checked out needed lots of concentration.
But because the Wii-mote is so simple, it allows the users to concentrate more on what's around the robot. "
Wii FTW!!!!
