Bachelor Assignment

A gesture-based teleoperation system using the Magos glove, a wearable that captures detailed hand and finger movements, was developed to improve safety during landmine excavation. By using intuitive hand gestures, operators can remotely control an excavation robot from a safe distance, reducing the need for direct human exposure to hazardous environments. The system was tested under controlled conditions, showing it to be intuitive, effective, and user friendly. Building on successful testing, the system is now ready for pilot trials and real-world validation as the next step toward deployment. This project demonstrates how user centered, iterative design can translate advanced hand tracking into precise robot control, supporting safer and scalable humanitarian demining. By reducing risk while maintaining excavation precision, the system contributes to returning land to communities more safely and efficiently.
