Robotic Vehicle with Hand Motion Control Using a RF Module

Abstract

This paper focuses on the materials, working principle of a robotic vehicle which will be controlled with hand motion. The aim of this research is to enhance industrialization by creating a hand motion controlled robotic vehicle, since it uses hand motion it will be easier to use in automation and various industries. It is also very beneficial for people with disabilities since only hand motion is required. There were various materials that were used in the research. 2 microcontrollers, an accelerometer, RF modules, encoder, decoder, diode, motor driver IC, DC motor and batteries. The microcontrollers are small computers which can be programmed to be utilized in various different ways. The Accelerometer is a PCB or a sensor which detects speed. The RF modules are of two types which are transmitters and receivers and they are components which are used to send data and information wirelessly. The encoder and decoder are used to convert the binary to any n number of output terminals. The diode is used to send the electricity in one direction. The motor driver IC controls the DC motor from the information given by the microcontroller ICs and lastly a 9v Battery will be used to power the system. The arduino software will be used to program the IC so it can perform the required task. The gadget features a receiver circuit that is intended to be worn on top of the user's glove. The vehicle's circuit incorporates an RF receiver, an 8051 CPU, and a Driver IC to power the motors. This method is extremely useful for persons with impairments since it allows a robotic vehicle to drive itself using hand gestures. The person only needs to move his hand to move the car forward, backward, left, or right. As a result, the user is not required to push any buttons
