PROBLEM STATEMENT
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in developing intuitive and interactive interfaces
for controlling devices. One promising approach is hand gesture recognition, which enables users to
interact with devices using natural hand movements. In this project, we aim to design and
implement a hand gesture- controlled car using Arduino, allowing users to navigate the car simply
by gesturing with their hands.
Problem Description: Traditional methods of controlling robotic vehicles often involve complex
interfaces or manual input devices, which may not be intuitive or user-friendly. The objective of this
project is to overcome these limitations by developing a system that can interpret hand gestures as
commands for controlling the movement of a car.

TIME SCHEDULE OF ACTIVITIES
Work will be done by Mid Viva: completion of the Gyro-Accelerometer controller
which include the following steps.
Hardware Setup:
Connect the gyro sensor module to the Arduino microcontroller board according to the
manufacturer's specifications. This usually involves connecting power, ground, and data lines
between the sensor and the Arduino.
Data Acquisition:
Read data from the gyro sensor at regular intervals using the Arduino's digital input/output
pins or analog input pins, depending on the sensor's interface.
Data Processing:
Process the raw sensor data to extract meaningful information, such as angular velocity or
orientation. This may involve filtering, calibration, and conversion of sensor readings into
usable units.
Gesture Classification:
Classify detected gestures based on predefined criteria or patterns. This may involve
comparing sensor data against predefined thresholds or training a machine learning model to
recognize gestures.
Control Output:
Based on the recognized gestures, generate corresponding control signals to actuate external
devices or systems. This may involve sending commands to motors, servos, LEDs, or other
output devices connected to the Arduino.
Feedback Mechanism:
Provide feedback to the user to indicate successful gesture recognition and system
response. This could be visual feedback through LEDs, textual feedback on a display, or
auditory feedback through speakers.
