“Drive me”: A interaction system between human and robot

This paper presents a new interaction system between human and robot, called “Drive Me”, a system that allows users to “drive” a electric robot using natural and dynamic gestures. The user stands in front of the depth camera and performs the gestures that practically move and “drive” the electric robot. The naturalness and the facility of performing the gestures let us know that “Drive Me” is a robust and easy to use interaction system between human and robot. Gesture recognition has a high accuracy rate and that makes of “Drive Me” a system easy to use by different users, system that does not depend of the ambient light conditions. We also made a performance evaluation of the “Drive Me” interaction system and we calculated the accuracy rate, the error rate, the precision, the recall, the sensitivity and the specificity of gesture recognition.
