Effective natural communication between human hand and mobile robot using Raspberry-pi

We focus human-robot interaction (HRI) by performing natural communication between human hand and a mobile robot. The Raspberry-pi and Raspberry-pi camera module are installed on the robot. The system is capable to detect hand movement by processing the images from camera and respond according to the hand movements effectively. In addition, we set-up on-board LEDs react according each hand-movement to smoothen mutual communication between the robot and human hand. Through many experiments, we could confirm the effectiveness of the system.
