Abstract- This paper focuses on establishing a natural synergy between human movements and robotic actions. Eschewing the use of traditional buttons or joysticks, this robot is controlled entirely through hand gestures. To achieve this, the 'MPU6050' a sensor based on MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) technology is employed to accurately detect hand tilt and three-dimensional movements. This system is broadly divided into two main components: The Transmitter (Glove Unit): This unit utilizes an 'Arduino' or 'ESP32' microcontroller to process sensor data, while a 'smoothing algorithm' is applied to ensure stable and fluid robotic movement. The Receiver module: This unit receives data RF technology and with the aid of an 'L298N' motor driver, controls the direction and movement of the robot's wheels. The primary objective of this technology is to alleviate physical strain on human operators and to simplify the operation of robots in remote or hazardous environments. This system can prove immensely beneficial for individuals who face difficulties in handling traditional remote controls due to physical limitations. The main advantage of this mechanism is the car with this mechanism can take sharp turn without any difficulty. The design and implementation of a gesture control robotic arm using flex sensor is proposed. The robotic arm is designed in such a way that it consists of four movable fingers, each with three linkages, an opposing thumb, a rotating wrist and an elbow. The robotic arm is made to imitate the human hand movements using a hand glove.
