Abstract

Modern sensing technologies create new possibilities to control mobile robots without any dedicated manipulators. In this article authors present a novel method that enables driving of the Mindstorms NXT artificial arm with Microsoft Kinect, using gesture recognition. To imitate movement of an artificial robotic arm, an algorithm of the human-computer interaction is employed using skeleton tracking and gesture control in 3D space.
