Abstract :
The authors present a person-independent gesture interface implemented on a real robot which allows the user to give simple commands, e.g., how to grasp an object and where to put it. The gesture analysis relies on real-time tracking of the user´s hand and a refined analysis of the hand´s shape in the presence of varying complex backgrounds
