Abstract
This paper presents the three types of remote control method for intuitive robotic arm manipulation. The first method covers Wii remote control method using acceleration sensor and gyro sensor of two kinds of approaches; the servo movement and the arm movement. The second method covers data glove-based manipulation of two types of approaches; the gesture-based interface and master-slave-based one. The third method covers the voice command-based manipulation. The manipulation experiments using a 5 DOF robotic arm system were conducted with each of these methods. The results show that all of these methods performed the interactive manipulation of the robotic arm but some differences were observed in recognizing the command given by the subject due to the experiment conditions. Considering the results, this paper discusses the feasibility of robotic arm-based communication device in manufacturing environments.
