Preface
Getting Started with ROS Robotics Application Development Face Detection and Tracking Using ROS, OpenCV and Dynamixel Servos Building a Siri-Like Chatbot in ROS Controlling Embedded Boards Using ROS Teleoperate a Robot Using Hand Gestures Object Detection and Recognition Deep Learning Using ROS and TensorFlow ROS on MATLAB and Android Building an Autonomous Mobile Robot Creating a Self-Driving Car Using ROS Teleoperating a Robot Using a VR Headset and Leap Motion Controlling Your Robots over the Web

Summary

This chapter was about creating a project to teleoperate a robot using a Leap Motion controller and VR headset. The basic aim of the chapter was to teleoperate the robot with hand gestures using a Leap Motion controller. After that, we visualized the robot camera image in a VR headset with the help of an Android phone. We started with discussing the general idea of VR and the Leap Motion controller, and then we switched to the design of the project. Then, we discussed the Leap Motion interface with PC and the driver installation. Later, we saw how to build a ROS node to control the robot using our hand. After building a teleop node, we saw how to create a VR app for ROS and then integrated both the app and the teleop node to experience 3D control of the robot using our hands.
