Human robot interaction method by using hand gesture recognition

Abstract

Recently, human robot interaction technique is limelight in which controlling robot by using natural user interface such as using body gesture, eye tracking or human voice recognition. In this paper, hand gesture based robot controlling method is proposed. In the present study, a new natural user interface model is hierachically designed. The hand gesture is recognized based on Kinect V2. The recognized gesture information is send to the robot controlling robot through Bluetooth 4.0 interface. The developed robot controlling interface can be adopted into the field of disaster area in order to restore or surveillance the area of human inavailable. Experimental result showed that the proposed method can be effectively used for controlling robot.
