In this project a greeting robot was developed. The real time human-robot interaction includes speaking out the person’s name after face recognition and greeting people by waving hand. This report firstly introduces face detection and recognition technologies. Based on that, the methodology to implement face recognition through Kinect Sensor is described in details. The skeleton tracking feature of kinect sensor and emgu image processing are highlighted along the way. In addition the method of implementing audio interaction through kinect microphone array is also covered in the report. At last, room for improvement on this greeting robot is discussed.
