A novel method to control the Spot robot of Boston Dynamics by Hololens 2 is proposed. This method is mainly designed for people with physical disabilities, users can control the robot's movement and robot arm without using their hands. The eye gaze tracking and head motion tracking technologies of Hololens 2 are utilized for sending control commands. The movement of the robot would follow the eye gaze and the robot arm would mimic the pose of the user's head. Through our experiment, our method is comparable with the traditional control method by joystick in both time efficiency and user experience.
