Hands-Free is a ROS-based software to teleoperate a robot with the user hand. The skeleton of the hand is extracted by using OpenPose and the position of the user’s index finger in the user workspace is mapped to the corresponding robot position in the robot workspace.
The project is available on GitHub and the paper has been published in the Ubiquitous Robotics 2020 virtual conference proceedings.
Cristina Nuzzi, Stefano Ghidini, Roberto Pagani, and Federica Ragni, a team of DRIMI Applied Mechanics Ph. D. Students, participated in the Student Competition of the 2020 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction.
Their project, called “RemindLy“, has been published in the conference proceedings and it is available at the ACM library.
