Abstract:

The main objective of the project work is to control a car with gestures using hand.

There are two main components of the system: The accelerometer depends upon the gestures of the hand. Through accelerometer, a passage of data signal is received and it is processed with the help of Arduino microcontroller.

The microcontroller gives command to the car to move in the desired direction. The basic working principle for the robot is passage of the data signals of accelerometer readings to the Arduino board fitted on the bot.

The program compiled in that Arduino runs according to that value, which make the bot function accordingly.

While we have used two-axis accelerometer. In which, one axis will control the speed in forward or backward direction and other axis will control the turning mechanism.

Accelerometer-based gesture control is studied as a supplementary or an alternative interaction modality.

Gesture commands freely trainable by the user can be used for controlling external devices with handheld wireless sensor unit.

Two user studies are presented. The first study concerns finding gestures for controlling a design environment (Smart Design Studio), TV, VCR, and lighting.

The results indicate that different people usually prefer different gestures for the same task, and hence it should be possible to personalize them.

The goal of this project is to capture simple hand gestures from the glove and use that input to wirelessly control the car. Controlled variable included speed, steering, forward/reverse and stop.
