Kinect controlled chess playing robot

Abstract

In this project, we developed a chess play system based on Kinect vision sensor, which recognizes different hand gestures as a command and sends these commands to V-REP robotic simulation tool. Delta type robot will play chess according to the commands sent via vision software. In our system, we have tested for 2 different chess opening scenarios and DOF checking mode scenario, then we obtained results. Hence we propose an integration between Kinect hand gestures and V-REP simulation.
