Research Abstract |
An input device to teleoperate the hand-robot using only human hands without any devices has been developed. It consists of two CCD cameras for three-dimensional measurement, image processor and personal computer. The three kinds of landmarks (red, green and blue points) are marked on the end of thumb and index finger and the root of thumb, and then the movement of them are automatically measured. We made sure our system as an input device is avaliable to operate the hand-robot remotely by the three-dimensional measurement of human hand moving. First we have to know the elements of the perspective transformation matrixes which show the relationship between three-dimensional space (hand moving space) and two-dimensional space (camera images), but it is very easy to know them. We need only to adjust the posture and position of CCD camera in order to take the images of the whole 3D real space where the human hands move around to control robots, and need not another measurement. The results of measurements are as follows. The average of error is less than <plus-minus>0.66mm in the measurement space (x=100mm, y=60mm and z=100mm), and the standard deviation of error in the direction of the depth (z) is 2.6mm which is about 3 times that in another directions. The sampling speed is 10 times/se
