Robotic control system manufacturer Dell has formed a partnership with Sixense , which offers businesses immersive computing services , with the aim of intuitively programming industrial robots . In contrast to the time - consuming " training by demonstration " approach currently used to teach machines , Sisu 's VUDU System aims to use a technique based on motion tracking to instruct robots using a handheld controller . "In the past, conditions on factory and shop floors have made it nearly impossible to deploy advanced motion capture technology that is essential for enabling easy programming of industrial robots," said Russell Aldridge, Co-founder and CEO of Sisu. While the limitations of the existing methods have left many companies unwilling to invest the vast amounts of time and money needed to successfully implement the system , the partnership between the two firms aims to offer a boost in the market .
