Hand gestures are one of the natural forms of communication in human-robot interaction scenarios. They can be used to delegate tasks from a human to a robot. To facilitate human-like interaction with robots, a major requirement for advancing in this direction is the availability of a hand gesture dataset for judging the performance of the proposed algorithms.
