MEMS Based Gesture Controlled Robot by using AVR Microcontroller

MEMS means micro-electromechanical system, also known as Microsystems technology is characterized both by their small sizes and the manner in which they are made. MEMS devices are consider to range in characteristic length from one millimeter near to one micron-many times smaller than the diameter of a human hair. In robotics, sensor plays an important role. Robotics application demand sensors with high degree of repeatability, precision and reliability. In this project we are going to implement a model to control robotic arm through human gesture using accelerometer. A three axis accelerometer is mounted on the human hand in order to perform the action of robotics arm according to the action of human hand. Here in place of button, joysticks we are going to use some other more initiative techniques, i.e. controlling complete robotics arm by hand movement or motion or gesture. This is achieved by using MEMS-accelerometer technology, showing the diversity of the application of same technology. To implement this here, there is a use of AVR microcontroller both at transmitter and receiver side. We are going to implement MEMS based gesture control robot using AVR microcontroller with the help of transceiver module CC2500.
