Gesture Control of mobile robot

based arduino microcontroller

Abstract:

The paper describes a robustness of MEMS based Gesture

Controlled Robot is a kind of robot that can be by our hand gestures
rather than an ordinary old switches or keypad.
In Future there is a chance of making robots that can interact with
humans in an natural manner. Hence our target interest is with hand
motion based gesture interfaces.
An innovative Formula for gesture recognition is developed for
identifying the distinct action signs made through hand movement. A
MEMS Sensor was used to carry out this operation.
In order to full-fill our requirement a program has been written and
executed using a microcontroller system. Upon noticing the results of
experimentation proves that our gesture formula is very competent
and it’s also enhance the natural way of intelligence and also
 Proposed and Existing

In Existing project, robot was controlled using

Switches.
Now in Proposed project we are using MEMS
Sensor to control robot, which helps for
handicapped persons to meet their needs and
many applications like industries, automobile etc.

3-AXIS ACCELERATION
SENSOR:
 Mems -small and highly sensitive accelerometer can
detect acceleration, inclination and vibration by
measuring the motion in the x-,y- and z-axis
simultaneously.
 Principle of detection:
Magnitude of stress along x and y direction along z- direction
 The MEMS 3-axis accelerometer consists of a mass at
the center of the sensors chip, which is suspended by 4
beams doped with piezo resistive material.

 When the sensor is subjected to acceleration in any

direction, the movement of the mass causes the 4
beams to deform and so changes the resistance
of in the piezo material . This enables the sensor to
detect the acceleration motion.
DC GEARED MOTORS:
 The wheelchair can be moved forward and
reverse direction using geared motors of
60RPM.
 This dc geared motor is driven by h-bridge .
H-
bridge:
 An H bridge is an electronic circuit that enables a
voltage to be applied across a load in either direction.
These circuits are often used in robotics and other
applications to allow DC motors to run forwards and
backwards.

 An H bridge is built with four switches (solid-state or

mechanical).

APPLICATIONS:
 This project can be used in various places such as industry,
military and hospitals.
As we see today all the industries are developing and growing
at a very fast rate, what are project can do u is help grow with the
industry, regardless of which industry it is.
This robot can be used as delivery robot which can help reduce
the cost of transportation within a factory.
Growing need for goods increases the need for production of
goods and for this on time delivery in the same factory is required
so that the product can continuously move forward towards its
final body or design.
It will act as an engine of the train, all the goods or parts can be
attached to the robot, now a person can control the delivery of
the good by his own hands.
