Systems and methods for gesture control of a welding system
First Claim
1. A system for controlling a welding system, comprising:
- a sensor system configured to be directed at a welding system operator and configured to detect first and second gestures of the welding system operator; and
processing circuitry communicatively coupled to the sensor system and configured to;
receive a first signal and a second signal corresponding to the first and second detected gestures;
compare the first signal corresponding to the first detected gesture with a plurality of stored gestures stored within a global gesture library, wherein each of the plurality of stored gestures is associated with a corresponding welding component or welding command of a plurality of welding components and welding commands;
compare the second signal corresponding to the second detected gesture with the plurality of stored gestures stored within the global gesture library;
identify a welding component associated with the detected first gesture based at least in part on the comparison of the first signal;
identify a welding command associated with the detected second gesture based at least in part on the comparison of the second signal;
transmit the identified welding command to the identified welding component of the welding systemand wherein the sensor system is configured to detect first and second gestures of an eye of the welding system operator.

Abstract
A motion detection system having detection circuitry, motion recognition circuitry, and communication circuitry is provided. The detection circuitry is configured to detect gestures or motions of a welding system operator. In some embodiments, the detection circuitry is configured to detect gestures or motions of a welding operator via an accessory device, where the accessory device is in wireless communication with the motion detection system. The motion recognition circuitry receives the detected gestures or motions, and translates the detected gestures or motions into a welding command. The welding command is communicated to a welding system via the communications circuitry, and is configured to adjust an operating parameter of the welding system.
