An exclusive human-robot interaction method on the TurtleBot platform

In this paper, we presented an exclusive humanrobot interaction method on the TurtleBot platform to realize its motion control with human skeleton command. The 2D and 3D face recognition are integrated with skeleton information. The identity information and human-robot interaction message are always bound together, and the identity recognition has priority to human-robot control. Experiments show that the TurtleBot is able to robustly react on the skeleton signals from its human interaction partner while ignoring other signal sources.
