Wireless Robotic Arm Control (WebSockets,ArduinoYun)

So I've been working on this project for a year now. It's a gesture controlled robotic arm using the Arduino Yun. I'm not sure how many of you are hardware tinkerers or are interested in Robotics, but this should be quite entertaining either way!
Our project was mainly inspired by Yu Jiang Tham's video of his Node.js based Leap Motion Controlled Robotic Arm. We've taken the concept one step further making it wireless and creating a simple Web Application to control it.

Here's a small video of everything working.

On the CLIENT side we've got => Laptop+Browser+Web Application+Leap Motion
On the SERVER side we've got => 3800mAh Lipo+UBEC+SERVOS-Arduino Yun

Instead of me having to put a huge write-up about the project that almost NO ONE will end up reading, feel free to ask any questions regarding the project and I'll make sure you get a quick reply!

Thanks,
Shreyas

Hi! I'm Student of Korea and doing now Robot Arm project too.
And my part in our team is to communication of leap motion and arduino by wireless.
So, in this case, can it communicate through serial communication between leap motion and arduino?
i really need your help
thank you.

Hey,

This is very impressive. I am working on building a gesture controlled wheelchair. As a prototype, I will be implementing it as a Raspberry Pi robot. Could you please guide as to how you went about your project?

Thank you

A great project.
can you please tell us what did you use on the client side (where arduino Yun is driving the robotic arm) is there a computer or just the arduino yun
if just arduino yun then how did you run node.js and the javascript code ?
the libraries allegedly use here seem to be only supported by PC , not the Yun.
thanks
