Abstract

Robot is a machine that is specially programmed by a user or computer. Robot is mainly used for carrying things with complex action and it can be guided by external control device. This article depicts that controlling of robot is based on hand gesture movement. The gesture movement is done with the help of 3-axis accelerometer (i.e.ADXL 335).It works based on tilting the accelerometer in various directions. Based on the accelerometer directions the robot is controlled. An accelerometer is placed on the hand that is used to transmit the signal that is configured with Arduino UNO and the controlling the motor is done with NI-MYRIO using LabVIEW. Based on the transmitting device value the robot movement is controlled in various directions like forward, backward, left, right and stop. The movement of indication is viewed in LabVIEW.
