Space-free Gesture Interaction with Humanoid Robot

In general, humanoid robots mostly use fixed-devices (e.g., camera or sensors) to detect human non-verbal communication, which have limitations in many real-life scenarios. Wearable devices could play an important role in many real-life scenarios. To address this, we propose using Myo armband for human-robot interaction using hand- and arm-based gestures. We present our end-to-end Spagti framework that is used first to train the user gestures using Myo armband and then to interact with a humanoid robot, called ROBIN, in real-time using space-free gestures.
