New Japanese Device Lets You Move Robots From a Chair

H2L’s new Capsule Interface takes remote control to a whole new level. By tracking subtle changes in muscle tension, it captures not just movement, but also the force behind each action. In a recent demonstration, a woman controlled a humanoid robot from Unitree Robotics using nothing more than muscle signals—lifting, cleaning, and even interacting with people remotely. Unlike traditional setups with motion sensors or exoskeletons, this system works from a chair or bed and does not need bulky gear. Whether lifting heavy boxes from a distance or helping with daily chores, it brings a natural, low-effort way to remotely operate machines. H2L believes this technology could help with caregiving, agriculture, hazardous zones, and more.

A Japanese company just let someone control a robot using only muscle signals. No suit, no wires—just pure intent. Watch this.
