Readme

This Readme file provides instructions for installing and running the gesture controlled robot arm system with Leap Motion and Robotis Manipulator-H. This project was initialy developed on Windows

Installation

To install the necessary components, please follow the steps below:

1. Install LeapDeveloper Kit 5.0.0 from the official Leap Motion website.

2. Install Python 3.9 on your system.

3. Open a terminal or command prompt and execute the following commands:

   pip install numpy
   pip install dynamixel_sdk

These commands will install the required Python packages for the project.

Running the System

To run the gesture-controlled robot arm system, please follow the steps below:

1. Ensure that the Manipulator-H Robotis and Leap Motion devices are connected to your computer.
2. Run the ImageSample.cpp to launch the Leap Motion program.
3. If you want to view the simulation, run the Scene-robotis-griper program in Copellia-Sim.
4. Run the RobotControl.py Python script.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to stabilize your hand upside the Leap Motion for a few seconds. This process will define the zero position of the robot arm.
