a human-following algorithm based on human path prediction
a natural gesture interaction using RGB-D sensor
the human-following control system ➡ two feedback control loops
1) for linear motions
2) for rotational motions
To follow an operator effectively, a feedback control system is developed to maintain a certain distance between the operator and the robot and an anticipation for human-following.
Two operation modes
the human-tracking mode
laptop
process the position data from the Kinect sensor & RGB camera
calculate the distance and angular position error
plan robot's motion
send the commands to the robot to track the designated person
gesture-control mode
laptop
process the positional data of joints of the person being tracked by the Kinect sensor
send pulse width modulation signals to the Arduino board of the lamps through the XBee modules
Arduino board
process these signals(pulse width modulation signals) to turn the lamp ON/OFF
