Control and Motion Planning for Mobile Robots with Microsoft Kinect-Based Real-Time Hand Gestures

2013-04-07
An experimental setup consisting of a hand gesture recognition system based on a Microsoft Kinect XBOX 360 device, a wireless communication system, and a tele-operable robotic system with autonomous shuttling capabilities will be introduced, and the results of a few independent and geographically distributed social experiments aiming to figure out whether such a setup might yield more natural ways of interactions between an inexperienced human operator and a mobile robotic platform will be presented.

Control of PUMA mark II robot with an external computer
Dindaroglu, M. Serdar; Kocaoğlan, Erol; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2002)
In this research, software and hardware system is developed in order to control the PUMA 760 robot via a supervisory computer. In order to develop such a system, the characteristics of the PUMA robot are first studied in detail and then the capacity to integrate the available system with a supervisory computer, and all possible methods for this integration areinvestigated. Among these methods, the appropriate ones are chosen and they are integrated to the software by means of constructing the required proto...
Controller design and simulation for a helicopter during target engagement
Avcıoğlu, Sevil; Yavrucuk, İlkay; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2011)
The aim of this thesis is to design a controller for an unmanned helicopter to perform target engagement. This mission is briefly defined as; the helicopter flies to a firing point under the commands of a trajectory controller, and then it is aligned to the target with attitude control. After weapon firing, the helicopter initiates a return maneuver under again the commands of the trajectory controller. This mission where the continuous systems and discrete guidance decisions are to be executed in coherence...
Design and implementation of a head tracking controlled pan and tilt vision system
Ölmez, Hasan; Konukseven, Erhan İlhan; Koku, Ahmet Buğra; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2013)
Head tracking applications are getting widely used in robotics implementations such as in military industry for surveillance applications of remote controlled unmanned vehicles, in medical applications for heart and vessel surgeries, in entertainment and game applications for virtual reality. It can be used for helping the operator of teleoperated unmanned vehicle with improving his performance by decreasing workload and managing stress. Head tracking is a challenging application due to real time tracking a...
Evaluation of a motion based 3D virtual sports platform in the scope of technology acceptance model
İlhan, Fatih; Yıldırım, Zahide; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2019)
In this study, a recently developed 3D Virtual Sports Platform (VSP) using Kinect motion detection technology, which allows the individual to exercise in the home environment, is evaluated in the scope of technology acceptance model; in terms of the perceptions of students using it, and the views of preservice coaches, and experts. Participants of the study consisted of 22 users, who were students at the Computer Education and Instructional Technologies Department; 8 preservice coaches who were students at ...
Improving the accuracy of a mobile robot for localization and mapping of an unknown environment
Gümrükcü, Gülşah; Konukseven, Erhan İlhan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2003)
This thesis deals with sensor based motion planning of a mobile robot for localization in an unknown environment. Using the developed algorithm the robot may construct the map (GVG) of any bounded environment, and the minimum distance between any two locations in the mapped environment can be determined. In addition, the accuracy of the robot, facing dead-reckoning error can be improved. With this study, the mobile robot finds the optimum path between any two locations in any bounded environment and traces ...
