Classifying types of gesture and inferring intent
Chrystopher L. Nehaniv · University of Hertfordshire Research Archive (University of Hertfordshire) · 2005
In order to infer intent from gesture, a rudimentary classification of types of gestures into five main classes is introduced. The classification is intended as a basis for incorporating the understanding of gesture into human-robot interaction (HRI). Some requirements for the operational classification of gesture by a robot interacting with humans are also suggested.
