A simple and effective way of controlling a robot by hand gesture

Abstract

This paper describes the design and implementation of a robot that moves by hand gestures. Therefore, it removes the hassle of using joysticks or switches. The robot's speed is also controlled during its movement by the hand. An accelerometer has been used that converts different hand gestures into data signals. The robot has two sections: the transmitting end and the receiving end. The transmitting end transmits the gesture signals and the receiving end receives them. The accelerometer works as the sensor as it senses the different gestures made by the hand and converts them into analog signals which are further processed and transmitted to the receiving end.
