In many application of controlling robotic gadget it becomes quite hard and complicated when there comes the part of controlling it with remote or many different switches. Mostly in military application, industrial robotics, construction vehicles in civil side, medical application for surgery. In this field it is quite complicated to control the robot or particular machine with remote or switches, sometime the operator may get confused in the switches and button itself, so a new concept is introduced to control the machine with the movement of hand which will simultaneously control the movement of robot.
In this project, we will learn How to design an accelerometer based hand gesture controlled robot with AVR ATmega32 microcontroller. Here, we will use our hand gestures as input signals to drive the robot in different direction and we will display the direction of movement of the robot in a 16X2 alphanumeric LCD. In our case, hand gestures mean tilt of hand in different direction. To detect different hand gestures, we will use the ADX335 accelerometer sensor. The sensor will be attached to our hand with some material or through a hand glove. The three output signals of accelerometer sensor are analog in nature and it cannot be processed directly by ATmega32 microcontroller. For this, we will use the ADC of the ATmega32 microcontroller to convert the analog signals to digital values. After converting the analog signals of accelerometer sensor to digital values, the ATmega32 microcontroller will process the digital values to find different gestures of the hand. Once the hand gesture is known, the ATmega32 microcontroller will send the required signal to the DC motor driver (L293D) of the robot to drive the robot in the desired direction. Also, the microcontroller will display the direction of movement of the robot in a 16X2 alphanumeric LCD. The control hand gestures for the robot are forward tilt, backward tilt, left tilt, right tilt and no tilt to drive the robot in forward, backward, left, right direction and to stop it respectively. Now, tilt your hand in different direction and drive your robot as you want.

These are the threshold values for the accelerometer sensor in the +ve x-axis and -ve x-axis direction. These values decides after how much tilt of the accelerometer sensor in a direction will cause the robot to change its direction. Higher the +ve axis value, more is the tilt required to change the direction of robot and vice versa. i.e the microcontroller treats a hand gesture as Forward tilt when the accelerometer sensor output is greater than 390. same concept is for other dire
