Abstract
In this paper, authors present a novel architecture for controlling an industrial robot via an eye tracking interface for artistic purposes. Humans and robots interact thanks to an acquisition system based on an eye tracker device that allows the user to control the motion of a robotic manipulator with his gaze. The feasibility of the robotic system is evaluated with experimental tests in which the robot is teleoperated to draw artistic images. The tool can be used by artists to investigate novel forms of art and by amputees or people with movement disorders or muscular paralysis, as an assistive technology for artistic drawing and painting, since, in these cases, eye motion is usually preserved.
Highlights
Eye tracking is a process that monitors eye movements to determine where a subject is looking, what he/she is looking at, and how his/her gaze moves and pauses in space

Summary
Eye tracking is a process that monitors eye movements to determine where a subject is looking (point of gaze), what he/she is looking at, and how his/her gaze moves and pauses in space. Eye tracking technology allows a computer to track and record the gaze motion on a screen in real-time and with a high degree of precision. It represents a natural and easy interface between a human and an external device, and provides a powerful means of communication to people with physical disabilities [1]. Eye tracking technology finds applications in numerous fields other than patient communication. It is adopted in medical and psychological research as a tool for recording and studying human visual behavior, since gaze motion reflects cognitive processes [3]
