Real Time Hand Gesture Based Robot

Abstract

In this paper a prototype model of real time hand gesture based robot is proposed and is named “RoboCar” which is virtually controlled by hand movement. The main aim of designing RoboCar is to provide options for running car without any physically contact for controlling its functions. The design proposed here is about making a robot car that can be controlled by hand gestures using an arduino. When you move your hand, sensors detect the movement and send signals to the robot car through Bluetooth. The robot car then moves according to your hand gestures. It also has an ultrasonic sensor to avoid obstacles in its path. The system uses a flex sensor and an accelerometer to track hand movements. The Arduino reads these signals and controls the car’s motors. This robot car can be helpful in areas like security, searching unknown places, and during rescue operations. Designing and testing of proposed model of RoboCar is demonstrated in detail and it is ready to use as a product for humankind.
