Closed algorithm of the integrated control system by means of human gestures

Laboratory stand for human gestures robot control. 1 - Robot controller, 2 - Industrial robot,

3 - Kinect motion sensor, 4 - PLC, 5 - PC unit

Visualisation tab in LabVIEW application

• educational and practical industry applications • ability to reach difficult places (e.g. concerning weld) • ensure repeatability and floor space savings using the

automatic control mode implemented in LabVIEW application• increases flexibility of the whole production system and

makes it possible to program and control robot remotely in a new intuitive way

• system could be used in arc welding operations considering flexible work conditions, in assembling nontypical parts and mechanisms, in machining robots, in loading and unloading operations, in painting and dispensing robots ensuring a solution for atypical and not easily accessible surfaces paint, in industrial palletizing robots

• solution enriches functionality of industrial robot and makes it possible to program and operate the robot in a more intuitive way
