Robotic Gesture Recognition

Robots of the future should communicate with humans in a natural way. We are especially interested in vision-based gesture interfaces. In the context of robotics several constraints exist, which make the task of gesture recognition particularly challenging. We discuss these constraints and report on progress being made in our lab in the development of techniques for building robust gesture inte...

Vision based robotic gesture recognition

Vision in complex environments is a big scientific challenge for two reasons. First, in complex environments it is not possible to segment a scene into the constituent objects on the basis of simple cues. Second, unpredictable changes in the environment must be tolerated. A proper domain for investigating these problems is robotic gesture recognition, since the two problems arise there naturall...

Robotic Gesture Recognition by Cue Combination

Automatic gesture recognition holds the promise of making man-machine interfaces more natural and intuitive. We discuss six requirements for gesture recognition by robots. We present computer vision techniques developed at our lab which are suited to meet the requirements. The techniques owe their robustness to the combination of several cues for a particular task instead of relying on a single...

Gesture Controlled Home Automation

With each passing day the gap between machines and humans is being reduced with the introduction of new technologies to ease the standard of living. A gesture is a form of non-verbal communication where physical action, especially hands, is used for data transmission. Based upon the type of gestures, they have been captured via Acoustic (sound), Tactile (touch), Optical (light), Bionic and Moti...
