Hari Krishnan R., Vallikannu Al. . EkInBot- A Humanoid Platform for Human Robot Interaction using Finger Gesture Identification. International Journal of Computer Applications. 46, 7 ( May 2012), 39-43. DOI=10.5120/6923-9347
This paper discusses about a simple Humanoid platform EkInBot, specifically designed for Human Robot Interaction Using Dynamic Finger gestures. EkInBot stands for Electronically Interactive Robot and has 8 Degrees of Freedom. The paper emphasis on design and realization of a simplified humanoid robot and implementing finger gesture identification using a system analogous to 'Data Glove'. The proposed gesture recognition mechanism has accelerometer sensors, that tracks finger movements and moves the robot with respect to it.
