A Calibration Method using One Point for Instructing Robot by Pointing Gestures

Robot Guidance by Human Pointing Gestures

In the search for intuitive man-machine interfaces the visual recognition of human gestures would provide a powerful means to guide robot movements. In our paper we report on the development of the modular neural system \See-Eagle" for the visual guidance of robot pick-and-place actions. Several neural networks are integrated to a single system that visually recognizes human hand pointing gestu...

Visual recognition of pointing gestures for human-robot interaction

In this paper, we present an approach for recognizing pointing gestures in the context of human–robot interaction. In order to obtain input features for gesture recognition, we perform visual tracking of head, hands and head orientation. Given the images provided by a calibrated stereo camera, color and disparity information are integrated into a multi-hypothesis tracking framework in order to ...

Recognition of 3D-Pointing Gestures for Human-Robot-Interaction

We present a system capable of visually detecting pointing gestures performed by a person interacting with a robot. The 3Dtrajectories of the person’s head and hands are extracted from image sequences provided by a stereo camera. We use Hidden Markov Models trained on different phases of sample pointing gestures to detect the occurrence of pointing gestures. For the estimation of pointing direc...

A Simple and Fast Method for Field Calibration of Triaxial Gyroscope by using Accelerometer

A Method for Inverse Robot Calibration

A method is described for the inverse calibration of a manipulator or robot. Inverse calibration is defined to be finding the joint angles necessary to drive a robot to a desired endpoint location. The joint angles recommended by the robot controller's internal model will not, in general, drive the robot to the desired location because of inaccuracies in this model. Inverse calibration seeks to...
