Abstract
This paper introduces a new concept for the establishment of human-robot symbiotic relationship. The system is based on the implementation of knowledge-based image processing methodologies for model based vision and intelligent task scheduling for an autonomous social robot. This paper aims to develop an automatic translation of static gestures of alphabets and signs in American Sign Language (ASL), using neural network with backpropagation algorithm. System deals with images of bare hands to achieve the recognition task. For each individual sign 10 sample images have been considered, which means in total300 samples have been processed. In order to compare between the training set of signs and the considered sample images, are converted into feature vectors. Experimental results reveal that this can recognize selected ASL signs (accuracy of 92.00%). Finally, the system has been implemented issuing hand gesture commands for ASL to a robot car, named “Moto-robo”.
Highlights
In the dictionary of American Cultural Heritage the word “symbiosis” is defined as following: “A close, prolonged association among two or more different organisms of different species that may but does not necessarily benefit each member” [1]
The main purpose is to establish a symbiotic relationship between robots and human beings for their coexistence and co-operative work and consolidate their relationship for the benefit of each other
Image understanding concerns the issues of finding interpretations of images
Summary
In the dictionary of American Cultural Heritage the word “symbiosis” is defined as following: “A close, prolonged association among two or more different organisms of different species that may but does not necessarily benefit each member” [1]. In recent times this biological term has been used to define similar relations among wider collection of entities. The main purpose is to establish a symbiotic relationship between robots and human beings for their coexistence and co-operative work and consolidate their relationship for the benefit of each other. Image understanding concerns the issues of finding interpretations of images. Human hand gesture is immerging tremendous interest in the advancement of human-robot interface since it provides a natural and efficient way of exploring expressions
