Abstract :
In this research, real-time face tracking and gesture recognizing embedded quadruped robot with a tele-operation server is presented. Using i.MX21 embedded system, this robot transfers MPEG-4 video to tele-operation server which processes image data for gesture recognition and face detection, and human following. The developed quadruped robot has 3 DOF 4 legs and pan-tilt actuators. This system can recognize user´ s face and hand motion and serve various music contents to robot user.
