Developing finger motion detection as command reference for 5-finger hand robot using microsoft kinect

---

The objective of this thesis work is to develop a system which gives command reference to a 5-finger hand robot utilizing finger motion detection with computer vision using Microsoft Kinect for XBOX 3601. The problem to be addressed is that every robot control system needs a command reference and it can be various. Computer vision enables no physical contact needed with the system to give the command reference. The command reference's source is based on human hand's finger motions which are detected by the Kinect. This thesis work utilizes depth data and joint detection provided by the Kinect as well as some image processing to recognize human finger motions. Distance transformation is then calculated from the detected finger motions to provide the command reference to the hand robot control. This method results in working finger motion detection and distance transformation with some unstability due to jittery human joint detection because of noise. This unstability causes the hand robot to move inaccurately to the human finger motions, but the integration with the hand robot system proves to be working well.
