| Abstract: | Nowadays, touch-based user interfaces are widely used in consumer electronics. Recent trends confirm the high potential of touch-less interface technologies to manage also Human-Machine Interaction, in scenarios such as healthcare, surveillance, and outdoor activities. Moving from pointers, keyboards or joy-sticks to touch-screens represented a significant challenge. However, a touchless approach needs to ensure intuitiveness and robustness. This paper describes a framework enabling the wireless control of a mobile robot through a contactless controller. The data provided by a complex sensor, composed of two stereo cameras and three IR sensors, are processed with custom algorithms that recognize the movements of users' hands. The result is promptly translated into commands for the robot running a real-time operating system. Usability tests confirm the compelling employment of contactless controllers for mobile robots and drones both in open and closed environments. |
