Abstract

Gestures are a natural form of communication between humans and can also be leveraged for human-robot interaction. This work presents a gesture-based user interface for object selection using pointing and click gestures. An experiment with 20 participants evaluates accuracy and selection time, demonstrating the potential for efficient collaboration.
