Abstract— This paper presents the development of a Hand Gesture Controller Robot Car using Arduino. The proposed system aims to control a robot car's movement by interpreting hand gestures through an Arduino board. The hand gesture controller consists of a flex sensor and an accelerometer to capture the hand's movements accurately. The Arduino board processes the data from the hand gesture controller and sends the commands to the robot car's motors. The experimental results show that the proposed system can effectively control the robot car's movement with hand gestures. The Hand Gesture Controller Robot Car has the potential to be used in various applications such as surveillance, exploration, and rescue missions. A hand gesture-controlled car is a robotic vehicle that can be directed to move forward, backward, left, or right based on specific hand gestures. Unlike traditional remote-controlled cars that use joysticks or buttons, this car uses sensors to detect the orientation and movement of a hand to determine its direction. An accelerometer, attached to the hand, detects the tilt or position, translating these movements into commands that are sent wirelessly to the car. This innovative design allows for a hands-free, intuitive way to control the car’s motion.
