Abstract:  In order to solve the problem of firefighting robot artificial remote control, which are high requirements for operators and low freedom of operation, a Kinect based sensation control system for fire fighting robots is designed. The motion-sensing control technology are introduced. The working principle of Kinect sensor, the core component of the system, and how to build a human body model through it are described in detail. From the two aspects of control system software and hardware, the key components of the system, PC control software and wireless communication module design ideas are introduced, to clear design ideas of the system. 

Key words:  firefighting robot, Kinect sensor, body sensing control, human-computer interaction
