Gestures Controlled Robot

Abstract

Abstract: The main abstract of the project work is to control robot with gestures using hand. There are two main components of the system: The accelerometer depends upon the gestures of the hand. Through accelerometer, a passage of data signal is received and it is processed with the help of Atmega328 microcontroller. The microcontroller gives command to the robot to move in the desired direction. The basic working principle for the robot is passage of the data signals of accelerometer readings to the Arduino board fitted on the bot. The program compiled in that Atmega328 runs according to that value, which make the bot function accordingly. While we have used three-axis accelerometer. In which, one axis will control the speed in forward or backward direction and other axis will control the turning mechanism. Accelerometer-based gesture control is studied as a supplementary or an alternative interaction modality. Gesture commands freely trainable by the user can be used for controlling external devices with handheld wireless sensor unit.
