Vision Based User Interface for the Assistive Mobile Robot System

We have been developing the Assistive MObile Robot System (AMOS), which helps a daily life of physically handicapped persons. The purpose of AMOS is to replace only simple tasks that to transport daily use objects in the indoor environment. In the system, if the operator chooses the object to be transported in the environment, then AMOS approaches to the objects, pick up it, and finally relocate it in the designed location. To allow the operator to choose the objects in the system easily, we have been developing vision based user interface which accepts the gesture of the operator as a command.
