Abstract: Examples described may relate to methods and systems for gesture based switch for machine control. Some machines may be operated by computing devices that include touchscreens, and a graphical user interface (GUI) is provided for enabling control of the machines. Within examples, a disconnect switch can be incorporated into the GUI. As one example, to initiate operation of a machine, such as a robotic device, a user may be required to contact the touchscreen at a location and then trace out a pattern. To enable continued operation of the machine, the GUI may require the user to maintain contact with the touchscreen at a “goal” position. If contact with the touchscreen is broken (e.g., for more than a threshold amount of time), the machine operation may be halted, and the process to initiate operation can be performed again on the touchscreen to cause the machine to resume operation.

Abstract: Methods and systems for wireless control of robotic devices are described herein. As one example of implementing wireless control of a robot, a computing device may provide an alert, such as visual, audio, and/or vibration signals, when the device is capable of engaging in wireless communication with a robot. Prior to engaging the robot, the device may require some gesture of confirmation from the user, such as a passcode, predefined motion, or biometric input, prior to requesting for some amount of control of the robot. After engaging the robot via wireless communication (e.g., near field communication (NFC)), the device may receive control of the robot and enable the user to input control commands. Additionally, in some instances, the device may be configured to receive a subsequent gesture from the user that requests to relinquish control back to a control system of the robot.
