Synopsis

Hand gesture recognition is one of the method used in wheelchair applications, which is controlled by robot with AVR ATmega232 microcontroller. In this paper we are giving hand gesture as input signals to drive the robot in different directions and display the direction of movement of the robot in a 16X2 alphanumeric LCD. An Android phone with accelerometer sensor recognises the gesture and sends to robot via Bluetooth.
