Pose Sketching for the Control of a Humanoid Robot - Part 2
Programming and comanding grasping robots by demonstration is notoriously difficult due to the number of degrees of freedom involved. In this work, we propose an intuitive, Augemented Reality method where the user is able to 'point and click' to a goal pose for the robot end-effector to go to.

"Scientists Discover That the Brain Can Process Clickbait in 11 Dimensions !"
An example of approximative scientific vulgarization. The article is really bad and misleading, the brain does not encode 11 dimensions. What the paper is about is the ability to find the depth and distribution of millions of subnetworks of neurons within the brain.
