Abstract: A robot and a method for recognizing human faces and gestures are provided, and the method is applicable to a robot. In the method, a plurality of face regions within an image sequence captured by the robot are processed by a first classifier, so as to locate a current position of a specific user from the face regions. Changes of the current position of the specific user are tracked to move the robot accordingly. While the current position of the specific user is tracked, a gesture feature of the specific user is extracted by analyzing the image sequence. An operating instruction corresponding to the gesture feature is recognized by processing the gesture feature through a second classifier, and the robot is controlled to execute a relevant action according to the operating instruction.
