Teleoperation Robot Arm using Depth Sensor

Abstract

Recently, Robotics is increasingly being used for industry and daily activities. Th development is getting faster, starting from how the robot is controlled to other features. For jobs that have a danger in their work area, a teleoperation robot is needed. But most teleoperation robots have complicated control devices with many restrictions on users. In 2010 Microsoft released a camera to play Xbox with a depth sensor feature named Kinect. This depth sensor is used by researchers to develop robotic teleoperation control device. By using depth sensor, users are not limited when moving to control robots. Users only need to make movements such as when they work and the depth sensor will recognize it. In this study Arm Robot 4 DOF control system was made using the Kinect camera. For the accuracy of robot control with human hand movements was tested.
