Robotics in ASL (American Sign Language)
June 27, 2024
College of Engineering Technology students at RIT use the vision system on an ABB robot to detect finger spelling of ASL (American Sign Language), which translated to the robot to write the letters. This simulates using a robot at your local grocery store to write a message on a cake for a deaf or hard of hearing individual. Well done, team!
