Abstract

A human pilot controls a robotic arm and gripper by simulating a set of desired motions with the human hand. In at least one embodiment, one or more images of the pilot's hand are captured and analyzed to determine a set of hand poses. In at least one embodiment, the set of hand poses is translated to a corresponding set of robotic-gripper poses. In at least one embodiment, a set of motions is determined that perform the set of robotic-gripper poses, and the robot is directed to perform the set of motions.
