Training a robot to understand sign language

### Context

This dataset is a repositpry of sign language images taken by the Anki Vector
robot. To understand the American sign language for the English alphabet,
please take a look at the following video:

### Content

The dataset contains roughly 8500 images. Images are labelled according to the
sign language, for e.g. all images with a_*.png are labels for pictures with
sign for the alphabet 'a' taken by vector. All images for the background (with
no sign) are labelled as background_a.

### Acknowledgements

Thanks to the entire ex-Anki team for working on a fantastic robot and making the SDK available free,

### Inspiration

Lets train a model to enable robots to accurately understand the human sign language.
