Intuitive gesture control with igus Robolink

Innovative Robot Programming with Hand Gesture Control: Intuitive and Barrier-Free

Modern robot control systems often require specialized expertise, making programming complex and time-consuming. This project introduces a groundbreaking solution using a 3D hand-tracking sensor. The sensor captures the position, orientation, and acceleration of each finger, enabling gesture-based robot control. Commands are generated in real-time, allowing precise operation of robots and connected grippers without writing any code—a transformative approach realized with the igus robolink RL-DCi-5S-M.

What is the Application?

This solution enables gesture-based robot programming by recording hand-controlled motion sequences. The saved points can be reproduced automatically, simplifying the creation of complex workflows without IT expertise.

What are the Advantages of the Solution?

• Low Barrier to Entry: Intuitive control eliminates the need for coding knowledge.

• Quick Implementation: Rapid training accelerates motion sequence creation.

• Time and Cost Savings: Reduces learning phases and programming efforts.

What are the Advantages of the Robot?

The igus robolink RL-DCi-5S-M, paired with hand-tracking sensors, offers key benefits:
