Public Summary Month 9/2011
We have carried out an experiment to test the accuracy and precision of the Kinect. We are currently analysing the data from this experiment.
We have demonstrated basic robot interaction at the Scandinavian Industry Expo 2011 in Herning, Denmark. A Kinect camera was placed on the robot, so people visiting the expo could come to our booth and try having the robot arm imitate their own arm movements. This is the first step in the development of software that can recognize human gestures and translate them into commands for an industrial robot.
