Abstract: Most of robots are controlled by wireless connection (like remote or cell phones) or by direct (wired) connection. In this project work we have designed a robot which is to be controlled by hand gesture of human and an accelerometer is used to move robot according to hand movement. In this work the hardware requirements and complexity has been removed because of not using remote control. Arduino microcontroller makes it a self activated robot, which drives itself according to hand gesture of human standing in front of it. It follows the users hand gesture using accelerometer which makes itself driven robot.
