Remote control of the artificial arm model using 3D hand tracking

摘要

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.
