Service Robot Based on Kinect and Motion-sensing Technology

Abstract

To take care of the disabled and the elderly, this paper designs a robot based on Kinect and motion-sensing technology, which can reproduce the motion of human. The skeleton of human can be tracked using Kinect. By this function, we can capture the parameters of human joints, so that the angle of arms can be converted into the motive parameter of mechanical arms. The bending sensor is used to collect the bending states of the human fingers, thus the bending parameters can be converted into the parameters of the mechanical claws. Though these technology, the robot can reproduce the motion of human in real time.
