ACTION IMITATION METHOD AND ROBOT AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM USING THE SAME

The present disclosure provides an action imitation method as well as a robot and a computer readable storage medium using the same. The method includes: collecting a plurality of action images of a to-be-imitated object; processing the action images through a pre-trained convolutional neural network to obtain a position coordinate set of position coordinates of a plurality of key points of each of the action images; calculating a rotational angle of each of the linkages of the to-be-imitated object based on the position coordinate sets of the action images; and controlling a robot to move according to the rotational angle of each of the linkages of the to-be-imitated object. In the above-mentioned manner, the rotational angle of each linkage of the to-be-imitated object can be obtained by just analyzing and processing the images collected by an ordinary camera without the help of high-precision depth camera.
