A SURVEY ON HAND GESTURE CONTROLLED ROVER

Abstract

The Gesture Controlled Rover is a robot that responds to simple human motions. Robots these days are playing quite a significant role in day-to-day life. This work aims to propose a new technique to operate a robot by utilizing gestures, as well as to develop a remote-control robot that can be controlled using only gestures from a distance. A gesture gadget is to be worn by a user that has a sensor attached to it. As instructed by this user, the sensor records the movement made and thus the robot will move in the same instructed direction. This concept can be used to create a robot whose navigation can be automated. Gesture commands that the user can freely train can be utilized to control external devices using a handheld wireless sensor unit. The accelerometer is controlled by hand movements. The signals received by the accelerometer are then processed by the Arduino microcontroller. The robot is moved in the instructed direction by the microcontroller. The sensors have control over vehicle since they act as the remote control that controls the vehicle. The user will be able to control the bot's forward, backward, left, and right movements using the same accelerometer sensor that controls the bot's throttle. The differential mechanism controls the robot's movement.
