Maintenance robot motion control based on Kinect gesture recognition

Abstract

Maintenance robot is used widely in industries due to its convenience. The maintenance robot system is introduced. The hardware frame is designed in detail. Based on gesture recognition, the effect of controlling the robot movement is achieved. Gesture recognition information is achieved through the acquisition of human skeleton information by a Kinect sensor. The construction of the gesture library is done. The maintenance robot control system is set up to control the omnidirectional mobile robot driven by the Mecanum wheel. Finally, the maintenance robot is developed and the design functions are carried out.
