Abstract :
In the beginning, to use robots, a person must be next to them to be able to use them. Therefore, it is necessary to design a robot that can be operated without a person physically present. This article is about the operation of a robot that is not near us and can be launched from a control station. This is possible through a technique called image processing. In order to simplify an acceptable solution for a user-friendly interface, commands can be applied to a wireless robot using hand gestures. Will be the motion detection system includes three stages of image capture, feature extraction, and algorithm decision making. When the gesture is detected, a command signal is generated and sent to the micro-controllers. These command signals are then sent to the robot to make it run in a certain direction. One of the applications of the robot is to select and replace cases where human intervention is not possible. The pick and place arm is a microcontroller-based mechatronic system that selects the object from the source location and places it in a desired location, this operation is controlled using a keyboard. In addition, the robot records video signals with its RF camera at 2.4GHz (installed on the robot). The live video of the robot is received at the base station (computer). It is tested in the MAT software and the video is simultaneously processed in the DSP code.
