Motion capture robotic arm

Abstract

Different motion capture techniques exist. All strive at capturing motion of moving subjects and replicating their movements in different environments. In the last two decades lots of research has undergone in the field of motion capture serving as an interface for various computer vision applications. In the field of robotics motion capture can serve as a powerful interface between the human and the physical model. The research done for this project strives to examine how motion capture can breach the gap between humans and robots, how it can be used for control, capturing movements and transferring them via an interface, to physical models. The research is supported by a partly developed example and secondary sources - research papers, books, journals, internet sources, etc. The conclusions from the research confirm the powerfulness and the wide range of usability of motion capture techniques in computer vision and robotic control applications.
