Body Gesture Recognition to Control a Social Robot. (arXiv:2206.07538v1 [cs.RO])

In this work, we propose a gesture based language to allow humans to interact
with robots using their body in a natural way. We have created a new gesture
detection model using neural networks and a custom dataset of humans performing
a set of body gestures to train our network. Furthermore, we compare body
gesture communication with other communication channels to acknowledge the
importance of adding this knowledge to robots. The presented approach is
extensively validated in diverse simulations and …
