I made a simple LEGO SPIKE Essential Pick and Place Robot (LEGO Education set #45345), that you can control by moving the control stick in the air. The movements of your hand are captured by the built-in gyroscope and converted into precise commands for the servomotors.

The movement is so smooth because the robot is programmed in python and the program is run directly on the hub, without a tethered tablet.
