Today, human made many kind of complex robot and controlling them was a problem
how to make it easy and convenient. My goal of this thesis was to build an example robot
application, controlled by the depth of the Kinect sensor. This application is intuitive and feel
natural for the user and it should be safe and flexibly set up. In this report, the capabilities of a
robot system that is controlled by the Kinect sensor of the Microsoft XBOX-360 are tested. A
setup including one Kinect devices, one computer and one robot is presented. An application for
using Kinect to track human motion and the information is processed in computer then it is
transmitted to the robot via RF module to control the robot.
The mobile robot is built using the Atmega16 MCU, module Radio Frequency
Communication and Kinect was the vision to get the demand of human. The depth measurements
from the Kinect have been used to directly control the position of the robot. The system could
successfully track and follow the motion of a moving human in front of the Kinect. The system
could easily follow motion demand with a total system delay of less than 0.2 seconds. |
