Dancing Bees Helped Robots Create a New Language for Themselves

In this case, the human can communicate with the messenger robot through gestures such as raising a hand with a closed fist. Using its onboard camera and skeletal tracking algorithms, the robot can recognize the gesture. Once the human has shown the messenger robot the location of the package, it relays this information to the handling robot. Positioning itself in front of the handling robot and tracing a specific shape on the ground is required. The shape's orientation indicates the required direction of travel, while the time it takes to trace it indicates the distance.
