Towards robust gesture-based control for mobile robots: Implementing and validating a limited recognition system on Voyager

Year: 2025

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Gesture recognition plays a crucial role in human-robot interaction, allowing mobile robots to interpret and respond to non-verbal commands. This study presents the implementation of a limited gesture recognition system for the Voyager mobile ground robotic platform using a limited set of hand gestures. The system is validated in both simulation (Gazebo) and real-world environments and compared using metric such as recognition accuracy, latency, and user variability. This research highlights the challenges and potential solutions for deploying a limited gesture-based control in real-world robotic applications.
