Abstract

In the presented work, a remote robot control system is implemented utilizes Kinect based gesture recognition as human-robot interface. The movement of the human arm in 3 d space is captured, processed and replicated by the robotic arm. The joint angles are transmitted to the Arduino microcontroller. Arduino receives the joint angles and controls the robot arm. In investigation the accuracy of control by human's hand motion was tested.
