Abstract

This paper presents a new way to teach a robot certain motions remotely from human demonstrator. The human and robot interface is built using a Kinect sensor which is connected directly to a remote computer that runs on processing software. The Cartesian coordinates are extracted, converted into joint angles and sent to the workstation for the control of the Sawyer robot. Kinesthetic teaching was used to correct the reproduced demonstrations while only valid resolved joint angles are recorded to ensure consistence in the sent data. The recorded dataset is encoded using GMM while GMR was employed to extract and reproduce generalised trajectory with respect to the associated time-step. To evaluate the proposed approach, an experiment for a robot to follow a human arm motion was performed. This proposed approach could help non-expert users to teach a robot how to perform assembling task in more human like ways.
