Selecting and commanding groups in a multi-robot vision based system
Brian James Milligan, Greg Mori, Richard Vaughan · 2011
We present a novel method for a human user to select groups of robots without using any external instruments. We use computer vision techniques to read hand gestures from a user and use the hand gesture information to select single or multiple robots from a population and assign them to a task. To select robots the user simply draws a circle in the air around the robots that the user wants to command. Once the user selects the group of robots, he or she can send them to a location by pointing to a target location.
