COBALT lets anyone control a robot from their phone, no coding required

COBALT is a smartphone-based system developed by researchers at Georgia Tech that allows users to remotely control robot arms using just a phone and an internet connection. Users move their phones in different directions, and the robot mirrors those movements in real time. Basic tasks such as grabbing and releasing objects can be performed through simple on-screen controls. The system was designed to make robotics accessible to beginners rather than experts.
