Here's next week's video, early for Patrons. This one goes out publicly on Tuesday 28th Sep.

Although Posenet has been around for a while, it's really easy to implement on a Jetson now. There's also another model specifically for hands which could be good.

Gesture Robot - PREVIEW VERSION

I really wanted to experiment with Posenet running on NVIDIA Jetson Inference, so I can use it to make a gesture or pose recognition interface for events and live shows - using my Performance Robots which I built a while ago. I'm using Python-OSC to send OSC messages to QLC+ Lighting Controller which is a DMX Controller. My Performance Robots are DMX controlled but they are in storage, so I built another smaller DMX controlled robot to test it out - it dances so you don't have to!

Fun! I could see this being used for shop window displays for instance.

Scott Cress

Really cool! I could think of a telepresence use for this.

XRobots

It could be good for basic gestures, but it's not really 3D - you could maybe work out some of the 3D stuff with multiple cameras?

Scott Cress

With a camera that detects 3D depth and imagery should be doable. Also building a form of kinematic model may fill in the gaps for getting close to estimated 3D object detection.

I tried a Kinect 1 with ROS but I didn't get very far, I think the V2 has better support. Essentially I went with Intel Realsense though because support looked even better. That was for RUR of course.

So many excellent concurrent research paths - amazed you keep up the momentum on them all. Going to be at TCT, Birmingham again to show a project in the plastic?

XRobots

Thanks, yes I'll be at TCT with openDog V2 (there isn't space for both). I'll be with E3D on stand E51 all three days.

Magic - See you on the 29th. Last time you had OpenDog it was elbows and shin kicking through the surrounding crowds to get a look.

Something about the smooth motion of the arms made me think of a future interactive installation where there are 8 cameras pointed at 8 stations and up to 8 people can each control one arm of an octopus.
