Abstract

The automatic recognition of gestures is a well known area, but on the other hand, the usability of these type of human-machine interfaces has not been deeply taking into account. This paper shows the results of evaluation of a man-machine interface, from two points of view: i) automatic recognition and; ii) usability from the point of view of the end-users. We choose 5 gestures focus to control a mobile robot. With 8 end-user, the interface gives a 59.46% of good results when using Dynamic Bayesian Networks, a better result than using Hidden Markov Models that obtained an average of 43.03%. This result contrasts with the 84.01% with only one end-user, showing the difficulties to extend the number of end-users to the system. The usability of the interface was tested using 6 of the 8 end-users, divided into 3 categories: expert, semi-expert and non-expert end-users, the result shows a closer perceptions between expert and not-expert end-users.
