Research Abstract |
This research aims at developing a wearable interface for intuitively teaching everyday tasks to service robots. The interface measures human motions including hand motions and converts them into robot motion commands. We first developed the following two methods: (1) a method of estimating body/hand motions fast and reliably only from a camera and inertial sensors attached to the human body, (2) a method of making the robot perform tasks including manipulation and movement based on an FSM-based state transition model and the measured body/hand motions. These two methods have been tested using an actual humanoid robot. We also have conducted preliminary researches on robot teaching at a remote site and human-robot collaborative tasks.
