A gesture interface for human-robot-interaction

The authors present a person-independent gesture interface implemented on a real robot which allows the user to give simple commands, e.g., how to grasp an object and where to put it. The gesture analysis relies on real-time tracking of the user's hand and a refined analysis of the hand's shape in the presence of varying complex backgrounds.
