Swipe Gesture Robotic System Based on Image Processing and Servo Compensation

The contemporary world faces shortage of human resources in face-to-face working environment. Collaborative robots are promising for that environment because these robots enable people to work keeping a distance. In the operative tasks, the robot required to precisely follow human moving so as not to cause uncomfortable feelings of the operator. As a solution to this problem, we consider a swipe gesture robotic system for operating a robot. The proposed robotic system captures human gestures in real time by image processing, and commands a mobile robot with servo compensation.
