New capsule device lets you control robots with your entire body

H2L, a Tokyo-based technology startup, has launched the Capsule Interface. 

This breakthrough device lets you control robots with your entire body, transmitting not just movement but also physical force. 

This technology is poised to transform how humans interact with robots and digital avatars, offering a new level of immersion and precision.

PARALYZED MAN SPEAKS AND SINGS WITH AI BRAIN-COMPUTER INTERFACE

At the core of the Capsule Interface are sophisticated muscle displacement sensors. Unlike conventional teleoperation systems that rely on motion sensors or exoskeletons, H2L's sensors detect even the smallest changes in muscle tension. This allows the device to capture both the intent and the effort behind every movement. 

When you lift, push or grasp, the system measures how much force you're applying, transmitting that data to a remote robot in real time. The result is a more authentic, responsive and natural interaction between human and machine.

The Capsule Interface is designed for comfort and accessibility. It can be integrated into chairs or beds, allowing you to operate robots while sitting or lying down. There's no need for bulky wearables or complicated training. Instead, you simply move your limbs, and the system instantly records and communicates those movements and the associated muscle activity. Equipped with a display and speakers, the interface also provides real-time audiovisual feedback, creating a two-way connection that feels intuitive and engaging.

In business, professionals can attend meetings or perform tasks in distant locations by operating a humanoid robot from home or a nearby office. Delivery workers can remotely carry heavy loads, reducing physical strain. The Capsule Interface also has significant potential for disaster response, enabling operators to control robots in hazardous environments without risk to human life. In everyday life, it can assist with household chores, support elderly family members and help farmers manage agricultural robots remotely.

Looking ahead, H2L plans to make the Capsule Interface even more realistic by adding a new feature called proprioceptive feedback. In simple terms, this means the device would not only let you control a robot, but also allow you to feel what the robot is doing, like sensing resistance when lifting something heavy or feeling the texture of an object through the robot. 

By giving you this kind of physical sensation, the experience becomes much more lifelike, making remote collaboration and communication feel even more natural and engaging. This upgrade could unlock new possibilities in areas like education, healthcare and entertainment, where a true sense of touch and movement can make a big difference.

WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?

In the end, H2L's Capsule Interface is a glimpse into a future where our physical presence and abilities can be extended far beyond our own bodies. By making it possible to control robots with natural movements and even transmit the feeling of force, this technology could change how we work, help others and connect across distances.
