The video shows our first test using pointing gesture for controlling a robot through teaching by demonstration . The overall goal is to tell the robot to move parts from some storage place and put them into a feeder of some manufacturing system. While the task is pre-programed, the human operator needs to specify which parts, and where they should be filled into to simply by pointing.
This demo was supported by the EU projects TAPAS (www.tapas-project.eu) and GISA.
The demo was done at Aalborg University Copenhagen, Denmark, www.cvmi.aau.dk
