Gesture Controlled Robotic Arm

Abstract

Now-a-days robotic arm is used in various areas such as military, defense, medical surgeries, pick and place function in industrial automation applications. Based on the gesture of human hands the robotic arm moves and performs the task and this system replicates the actions of human hands. The arm is very flexible and can be made suitable in places where the environment is not safe for humans like firework manufacturing industry, bomb diffusing etc. There are various techniques for controlling the robotic arm. This paper deals with the accelerometer based gesture recognition for controlling the movements of the robotic arm through wireless control by using zig bee protocol.
