家庭用移動ロボットのための手のジェスチャによる操作方法の検討

抄録

In this paper, we studied on hand-gesture-based interface for a home mobile robot, using the LeapMotion sensor. The LeapMotion sensore is small device that can sense hand movements in the air above it. We developed simulation programs of operating a mobile robot using the LeapMotion, based on two types of hand-gesture-based interface, ”interface A” and ”interface B”. The interface A adopts ”swipe motion”, which is considered to be an intuitive hand gesture for operating a mobile robot. On the other hand, the interface B uses simple finger shapes. We performed experiments using the simulation programs and compared the two interfaces.
