 Acknowledgement

First and foremost, we would thank our project guide, Er. Ashwani Kumar Pandey
for his valuable guidance and advice. He guided us greatly to work in this project. His
willingness to motivate usk helped tremendously. We would also like to thank our
Head of the Department, Prof. Rajesh Maheshwari for mentoring us and providing
us with various facilities.
We acknowledge Mr. Dawar Hussain Rizvi, for his cooperation and guidance for
preparing and presenting this project.
We also extend our sincere thanks to all other faculty members of Electronics and
Communication Department and our friends for their support and encouragement.
Finally, an honourable mention goes to our families and for their understanding and
support in completing this project. Without help of those mentioned above, this
project could not have been completed.

 ABSTRACT

A gesture is a form of non-verbal communication in which visible bodily actions

communicate particular messages, either in place of speech or together and in parallel
with words. Gestures include movement of the hands, face, or other parts of the body.
Gestures differ from physical non-verbal communication that does not communicate
specific messages, such as purely expressive displays, proxemics, or displays of joint
attention. Gestures allow individuals to communicate a variety of feelings and
thoughts, from contempt and hostility to approval and affection, often together with
body language in addition towards when they speak.

Gesture Controlled Robot is a robot which can be controlled by simple gestures. The
user just needs to wear a gesture device which includes a sensor. The sensor will
record the movement of hand in a specific direction which will result in the
movement of the robot in the respective direction. The robot and the Gesture device
are connected wirelessly via radio waves. The wireless communication enables the
user to interact with the robot in a more friendly way.
