The self-built robot serves as a test platform for different robot control approaches. In the autonomous approach, the LiDAR sensor – which is attached to the robot – is used to map the robot’s surroundings via a SLAM algorithm. Based on this map, the robot can navigate autonomously. We also use gesture-based approaches to control the robot. In these, the robot’s control commands are computed based on hand gestures captured via a camera or a IMU sensor.
