Gesture Controlled Robot for the Disabled using Arduino

Abstract

Abstract: The gesture-controlled robot project presents a novel approach to human-robot interaction, utilizing hand gestures as an intuitive and natural means of control. This project aims to develop a system where users can seamlessly communicate with a robot using simple hand movements. The project consists of two main components: a handheld device for gesture input and a robot equipped with sensors and actuators for movement. Through wireless communication, the handheld device transmits signals encoding the user's hand gestures to the robot's receiver module, which decodes the signals, processes them, and translates them into commands for controlling the robot's movements. Advantages of this system include intuitive control, wireless operation, real-time interaction, enhanced safety, adaptability, educational value, and versatility. However, challenges such as gesture recognition complexity and limited gesture vocabulary must be addressed to ensure the system's effectiveness. The project has numerous applications, including entertainment, assistive technology, industrial automation, education, home automation, IoT, security, and interactive exhibits. By leveraging gesture-controlled robotics, this project contributes to advancing human-robot interaction technology and fostering innovation in various domains.
