Technology dynamics Controlling devices through gestures is no longer a new thing, but in general, cameras, accelerometers, or gyroscopes are used to collect signals to perform operations. However, scientific experts from the Swiss Federal Institute of Materials Testing and Development (EMPA) recently discovered a new technology and integrated it into a traditionally-appearing smart watch and successfully controlled drones.
The research team led by Frank Clemens uses 3D printed fiber to make the strap. After the user wears any gesture, it will create piezoresistance, which will cause the charge to change and be judged and analyzed. Then, according to the preset gesture information, commands are sent to the drone, remote control car, etc. to perform wireless control.

In the demonstration, Clemens demonstrated the use of gestures to adjust the direction of the drone, taking off and landing and so on. However, from the demonstration, it can be seen that the collection of gesture data from this technology will eventually take a long time to successfully execute the command to the drone. It cannot be controlled in real time. The team stated that it will further improve in the future.
Electric Angle Grinder
An angle grinder, also known as a side grinder or disc grinder, is a handheld power Tool used for grinding (abrasive cutting) and polishing. Although developed originally as tools for rigid abrasive discs, the availability of an interchangeable power source has encouraged their use with a wide variety of cutters and attachments.
Angle grinders can be powered by an electric motor or compressed air. The motor drives a geared head at a right-angle on which is mounted an abrasive disc or a thinner cut-off disc, either of which can be replaced when worn. Angle grinders typically have an adjustable guard and a side-handle for two-handed operation. Certain angle grinders, depending on their speed range, can be used as sanders, employing a sanding disc with a backing pad or disc. The backing system is typically made of hard plastic, phenolic resin, or medium-hard rubber depending on the amount of flexibility desired.
