Gesture based wireless shadow robot

In this project, an application of gesture mimic human-robot interaction is presented which has been developed using a Kinect sensor. The gesture recognition method combines depth information and traditional joints tracking algorithm using kinect to employ skeleton angular motion in dynamic gesture mimicking. A Master/Slave structured robot control application for master Bluetooth in PC and paired with slave module for the Arduino receiver is developed. The wireless setup provides a favorable function for gesture commands that uses Kinect sensor for controlling of shadow robot. Training session has been utilized for storing the serial string array sets in a Local database of the application which can later be transmitted to the slave at the time it is commanded. A Non-feedback static walking sequence is also been developed for bipedal forward walking of the humanoid robot. Experiment results validate the feasibility and usefulness of the application system.
