This research aims to construct a semi-automatic remote control system, which utilizes the autonomous function of a robot in a user’s remote control. One of the challenges in remote operation is the latency between the user’s operation and the robot’s action. This problem is solved by using information about hand motion and the functional meaning of the object (affordance) for estimating the user’s intention early. In the previous research, an early estimation of offline operation intention has already been performed. In this research, we move an actual robot by estimating the user’s operation intention from online inputs. We then evaluate the operation speed and the accuracy of the robot and confirm its usefulness. We obtained the average accuracy of 70 [%] and operation times of 3.954, 4.169, and 4.439 [s] for each of 4, 7 and 10 frame lengths.
