OPERATION IMPROVEMENT OF INDOOR ROBOT BY GESTURE RECOGNITION
ABSTRACT
Recently, the demand for the indoor robots has increased. Therefore, increased opportunities for many people to operate the robots have emerged. However, for many people, it is often difficult to operate a robot using the conventional methods like remote control.
To solve this problem, we propose a robot operation system using the hand gesture recognition. Our method pays attention to the direction and movement of the hand. We were able to recognize several gestures in real-time.
