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
