This document describes a demonstration that uses a Kinect sensor to copy the position of a user to the Acroban Robot. The Kinect sensor is a sensor able to build a 3-D representation of the user. It was developed by Microsoft for its video game system XBox 360. The Acroban Robot is a lightweight robot used for experimenting on human-robot interface and robot learning inside the FLOWERS team. The demonstration described by this document is able to reproduce in real-time the movement of the user on the robot. This document describe how to run the demonstration, how to adapt it to different versions of the robot and how it works internally.
