The present disclosures are systems, apparatus and methods for
communicating with a robot via a weapon. In one embodiment, the weapon
comprises a barrel, a receiver assembly, a handgrip, and a first
controller. The receiver assembly is coupled to an end of the barrel and
to the handgrip. The first controller is integrated into the handgrip and
inputs a first controller signal to a processing device. A transmitter
receives a processing signal from the processing device according to the
first controller signal. Preferably, the transmitter sends the processing
signal to a robot, which responds accordingly to the received processing
signal.
