With the advance of automation technologies, the operation of a factory changes from labor-based, semi-automatic, to fully automatic, and even may reach unmanned in the future. In this way, it is not only possible to know the conditions of the factory from a distant place, but also able to remote-control the machines in the factory. In 2010, Microsoft proposed Kinect sensors. Some developers and researchers began to develop a series of wireless applications and HMI-related research, in order to improve our daily lives. In this study, we investigated the remote control of a CNC machine through the gestures sensed by the Kinect sensor. A similar concept has been applied to remote-control a robotic arm. Such an attempt is valuable to the development of an unmanned and cloud-manufacturing factory.
