Modern technology has been steadily progressing towards the realization of a long-held dream of humanoid automatons. While still decades away from total fulfillment, never before have robotics been as adept at imitation of human motion or as malleable in design and construct as it is today. The advancement of both processing and physical dexterity in robots only opens further possibilities to automate complex tasks.

However, there exist many situations where it is impossible or impractical to fully relinquish control to automation.

In such cases, it is necessary for remote human operation of the humanoid robot. A motion-sensitive controller is proposed as a means of implementing intuitive and responsive control. Through the usage of various gyro-meters, accelerometers, and pressure-based sensors, it is possible to direct the robot to perform tasks or even assume 1-to-1 motion control in real or near-real time.
