Control a 6DOF Anthropomorphic Robotic Structure with Computer Vision as MEMS Input

Abstract

The presented paper presents a method to control a 6-degree-of-freedom robot manipulator using computer vision as micro-electro-mechanical systems input. Using this technology, we manage to extract 3D information regarding human hand position and orientation and pass it to the robot. The main advantages are: providing a natural and easy to use interaction manner, fast setup and a simplified usage learning curve for the user.
