1.INTRODUCTION
Robotics is a new emerging technology in the field of
science. Many researchers across the globe are coming up
with new products to help humans. Robots can be controlled
wirelessly or by using wired controllers. In many of the
industries robots have taken the place of humans but still
they need to be controlled by them only. Earlier robots were
controlled using physical devices but nowadays they can be
controlled via various methods. Hand gesture-controlled
robots were developed in order to help humans to do things
which are difficult for any human like disarming a bomb,
handling nuclear materials or any day to day activity. A
robotic arm constructed with diverse joints that replaces
human arm joint. The entire joint is motor driven with a
controller made up of joystick to operate each joint of the
robotic arm.
The main aim is to design a robotic arm which is
implemented on robotic car as shown in figure 1, so that it
can be used in places where human beings can’t reach. It can
be used as a fire fighting robot, can be used in construction,
medical and military fields.

2.Related Work
Several researches have been made in the field of
robotics, to create robots which are user-friendly,
implementing user interfaces such as 3D joystick, touch
screens, etc. But these techniques do not give accurate
results and provide slow response. A gesture controlled
robotic car and a 3D printed arm controlled with a joystick
are usually two different things and integrating them
together is something new.
A hand gesture-controlled robot using accelerometer,
flex sensors and Zigbee which uses the Sixth Sense
technology was implemented in [1]. Some of the basic
hardware materials were used along with the Zigbee
modules and simple assembly language was used. It had
several applications in the machine industry for picking and
placing.
Another gesture-controlled robot used for research and
development was implemented using 3D motion tracking
wirelessly with the help of Bluetooth in [2]. This was
predominantly development for the operator who does not
need special competences to control the manipulator device.
On the contrary, he can pay his full attention at the process
or object which is of most interest to an observer.

Abstract - This paper puts forward the design and
implementation of Gesture Controlled Robot with Robotic Car
in a very simple and efficient way. A Robot is a mechanical
device that can perform physical tasks. Robotic arm is a
mechanical system which is used in manipulating the
movement of lifting, moving, and manipulating the workpiece
to lighten the work of man. The 3D printed robotic arm is
operated & controlled with a joystick while the robotic car is
wirelessly gesture controlled with hand gesture which
transmits signals to the prototype through the transmitter
fixed on the gloves put on hands, instead of conventional
methods used. An accelerometer and microcontroller isusedto
convert the hand gestures into signal for controlling of robot.
Key Words: Accelerometer, Gesture Controlled Robot,
Joystick, 3D printed robotic arm.
