Abstract
Physically challenged people in Kenya and the rest of the developing countries in the world; encounter difficulties, when controlling most ofthe motor driven devices in industries and domestic areas of work. In this research paper, a system that utilizes voice and gesture commandsto control the rotational speed and direction of a d.c. (direct current) motor fan is developed. Arduino board is used for providing a link and developing the system hardware parts. The software part is accomplished in Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment) using embedded C language. Hardware is then carefully constructed and software porting is done successfully. Outcomes obtained after actual implementation and testing showed that through the use of voice and hand gesture commands speed and direction of a d.c. motor fan can easily be manipulated.
