Abstract Recent years, manufacturing aims on increasing flexibility while maintaining productivity for satisfying emerging market needs higher product customization. Human Robot Collaboration (HRC) is able to bring about this balance by combining the benefits of manual assembly and robotic automation. When introducing a hybrid concept, safety human acceptance are vital importance achieving impl...

In this paper, we present an efficient and reliable deep-learning approach that allows users to communicate with robots via hand gesture recognition. Contrary other works which use external devices such as gloves [1] or joysticks [2] tele-operate robots, the proposed uses only visual information recognize user's instructions are encoded in a set of pre-defined gestures. Particularly, method con...
