Analyzing skating posture of skate robot using depth camera

Abstract

In this study, we developed a system to analyze the skating motion of a small biped robot using 3D point cloud obtained by depth camera. To recognize the robot, four LED feature points were installed on the body. By measuring the positions of the feature points, the position and orientation of the robot were calculated. Within 2.6m, we were able to measure the centroid and attitude angle when skating. It became possible to evaluate the skating movement.
