ABSTRACT
Lot of small robotic cars are controlled by remote controller or by using a mobile interface for controlling its
movement by using Raspberry Pie. This paper is about how car is controlled by recognizing different gestures
of a person’s body generally hand movements. This will help a person to easily control the automated car to
move in different direction as per requirement of the user.
Keywords : Gesture, Automation, Microcontroller, Transceiver, Accelerometer
I. INTRODUCTION
In recent months, automation in robots has increased
on a large scale. Different types of technology are
upcoming, modified in different categories in
automation world. Generally, all these robots are
controlled by using some hardware equipment. So, a
robot car controlled by a person’s body gestures is
new technology upcoming in today’s world. All the
movements of this automated car are controlled by
different activities that a user performs, car’s
movement can be easily controlled. As human actions
are involved in controlling movement, this car can be
easily controlled. Sensors are used to detect the
gestures of hand .and to transmit the data transmitter
and receiver module is used. The exact movements
are interpreted by Arduino Lilypad. For robot to turn
efficiently, motors are connected in cross connection
pattern to increase the turning efficiency of the
automated car. Two different circuits namely
Transmitter Circuit and Receiver Circuit are required
to establish a proper and secured wireless connection
between a person and automated car. [1]
II. INNOVATION AND HIGHLIGHTS OF PROJECT
As the name itself suggests that, this is automated car
controlled by hand gestures of person. For simple
movements of car, if a person’s hand is tilted down
then car moves in forward direction, if tilted above
then car moves in backward direction, if tilted to left
then car turns in left direction and if tilted to right
then car turns in right direction. First, accelerometer
(gyroscope) is used (ADXL335). This sensor has 3 axis
X, Y, Z which detects position of a person’s hand and
gives an output in range of serials. This data is
received by Arduino Lilypad. Microcontroller of
Arduino (ATMEGA328P) then computes and
forwards data about direction to which car should
move. This data is then sent to an encoder IC
(HT12E). This IC encodes the data to ensure the
safety. Then this data is forwarded to transmitter
module. At a frequency of 433 MHz this data is sent
in air in encoded format. Now at Receiver end, this
encoded data is captured by receiver module and then
data is sent to decoder IC (HT12D). This decoded data
is about which pin to set high so that motor of the
