This paper presents for the first time the use of the Leap Motion device to control an anthropomorphic gripper with five fingers. First, a description of the Leap Motion device is presented, highlighting its main functional characteristics, followed by testing of its use for capturing the movements of a human hand's fingers in different configurations. Next, the HandCommander soft module and the Interface Controller application are described. The HandCommander is a software module created to facilitate interaction between a human hand and the GraspIT virtual environment, and the Interface Controller application is required to send motion data to the virtual environment and to test the communication protocol. For the test, a prototype of an anthropomorphic gripper with five fingers was made, including a proper hardware system of command and control, which is briefly presented in this paper. Following the creation of the prototype, the command system performance test was conducted under real conditions, evaluating the recognition efficiency of the objects to be gripped and the efficiency of the command and control strategies for the gripping process. The gripping test is exemplified by the gripping of an object, such as a screw spanner. It was found that the command system, both in terms of capturing human hand gestures with the Leap Motion device and effective object gripping, is operational. Suggestive figures are presented as examples.

Tbir paper presents some aspects about measurement odometry, e m r compensation. mobile robot and compensation of the systematic odometry emrs for differential drive platform. The experimental results obtained by running two different UMBmark tests show that systematic calibration can reduce systematic odometry errors more than 10 timer.

This paper presents an original integrated solution of montage robotization of assemblies of small and medium complexity. The robotic station (the robotized cell) proposed contains a joint industrial robot equipped with an anthropomorphic gripper with five fingers, two feeders, a montage table and a storage terminal. CAD modelling of the whole system and functional simulation are performed, which certifies the validity of its correct operation. The gripper used is anthropomorphic with five fingers and five degrees of freedom with a relatively simple structure but high functionality. The gripper, adapted by a popular variant is realized as prototype at low cost, through rapid prototyping, and tested. The gripper control is possible through the advanced method of human hand gestures capture with a Motion Leap device and their transmission through a virtual interface to the real gripper. In perspective, it is considered mounting the gripper in an improved variant, on a real robot and testing the operation of the proposed montage scenario.
