12.Arm posture control robotic arm

Arm Posture Control Robotic Arm

1、Introduction

The arm posture control robotic arm function adds specific posture control of the robotic arm based on posture detection.

Recognizable postures include: [Triangle, Akimbo, Hands Up, Left Hand Up, Right Hand Up], a total of 5 types.

2、Startup

  • Open the desktop terminal and enter the following command to start the program:
xxxxxxxxxx
ros2 run dofbot_mediapipe 12_PoseArm

Press Ctrl+c in the terminal to exit the program.

3、Source Code
