ABSTRACT
Gesture recognition has always been a technique to decrease the distance between the physical and the digital world. There is a need to create a much more convenient means of communicating with machines that would feel more natural to human users. The traditional methods of including an intermediary devices in the form of keyboards, mouse, user interfaces and other controller I/O devices to control machines is tedious. In this work, we introduce an Arduino based hand gesture controlled vehicle which utilizes simple gestures in the control of the entire system. Two main contributions are presented in this work. Firstly, we show that the vehicle can be controlled entirely with gestures in relation to the movement and position of the hand. Secondly, we implement a serial method (model) of control illustrating its general principle of motion and steering mechanism The system is designed at lab-scale prototype to experimentally validate the efficiency, accuracy, and affordability of the systems. We remark that the systems can be implemented under real conditions at large-scale in the future that will be useful in automobiles and robotics applications.
