In today’s era, robotic industry has been developing many new trends to increase the efficiency, accessibility and
accuracy to the systems. . The popularly known robot in today’s generation has been a gesture controlled robot. Gesture
recognition has various applications like computer games, machinery control, and various types of robotic movement and
through mouse replacement. In our project, we will be implementing a robot which will be controlled using gestures of the
color markers. The gestures will be identified from the webcam present in the laptop through image processing. The camera
will catch the live video of the gestures which will be simulated in MATLAB. The command signal is the data in the digital
form. They will be generated from these gestures. These signals are serially transmitted to arduino board which will control
the motor. Here we are transmitting different types of operation which will help the robot to navigate in specified direction.
