A Gesture Interface for Human-Robot-Interaction

We 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 realtime tracking of the user's hand and a rened analysis of the hand's shape in the presenceof varying complex backgrounds.
