  • This paper presents a teleoperation system for controlling a redundant degree of freedom robot manipulator using human arm gestures. We propose a GRU-based Variational Autoencoder to learn a latent representation of the manipulator's configuration space, capturing its complex joint kinematics. A fully connected neural network maps human arm configurations into this latent space, allowing the system to mimic and generate corresponding manipulator trajectories in real time through the VAE decoder. The proposed method shows promising results in teleoperating the manipulator, enabling the generation of novel manipulator configurations from human features that were not present during training.
