MULTIMEDIA BASED GESTURE CONTROLLED ROBOT

ABSTRACT Nowadays, interaction between humans and machines is moving far away from the pen and mouse and changing into a pervasive and more compatible with the physical world. As days are passing, the gap between the humans and machines is being reduced with the introduction of novel technologies to make ease of living. Robots have played a vital role in achieving the easier life performing tasks which human cannot do. Thus, these robots can be used to perform tasks that may be harmful to humans. This paper describes the gesture controlled robot which can be controlled by normal hand gesture. This project mainly consists of color detection [1], serial communication with Arduino and then wireless communication through radio frequency transmitter and receiver as well. According to the color detected in a region, commands are send to the Arduino by the serial communication from MATLAB. Arduino sends the bit pattern to the transmitter. The transmitter transmits the bit pattern send by the Arduino and the receiver receives the bit pattern and makes the robot move in the direction specified in the program written in the embedded C language in Arduino platform.
