| Abstract: | This work explores how computer vision and robotics can support remote, gesture-based embodied signals for expressing presence and emotion in remote communication. We present an initial proof-of-concept in which users interact through robotic hands placed on their desks: one user’s hand gestures are captured in real time by a camera, transmitted over a network, and reproduced by a robotic hand at the remote location. The prototype uses the InMoov robotic hand and MediaPipe Hands for gesture tracking across varied lighting conditions, viewing angles, and backgrounds. Our preliminary tests demonstrate that gestures can be reliably recognised and consistently reproduced through stable network communication. While still at an early stage, this project illustrates the potential of combining affordable robotics with computer vision to create accessible alternatives to voice communication and new forms of remote communication. |
