Hand Gesture based Robot Motion Control Built using Accelerometer and Microcontroller

Abstract

Hand gesture recognition, in the recent years, has been developed to be an independent technology on its own due to its efficiency and user friendly features. This paper presents the recent advancements of the said domain. It highlights the drawbacks of other potential gesture recognizing technologies which are overcome by hand gesture sensing. The execution is carried out using an accelerometer which keeps tracks of the axes, thereby guiding the robot. The conventional approach of utilizing joysticks or even buttons for controlling can be replaced by this algorithm for identifying gestures.
