Abstract: With the recent improvement in technology, controlling a robot wirelessly has become possible. Controlling a robot wirelessly increases its mobility. It also opens up the possibility of different kinds of robot designs. However, controlling a robot wirelessly using human computer interface bring more challenges to the researchers. This paper implements a human gesture-based robot control system. It uses a Kinect sensor which consists of a depth sensor, RGB camera. The Kinect sensor obtains the skeletal data from the subject. Using mathematical calculation, it calculates the angle deviation between the different parts of the arm based on its movement. The angle deviation data measured by the Kinect sensor will be transmitted by using a Wi-Fi module. The use of the Wi-Fi module will increase mobility. On the receiver, we use a microcontroller which will convert the received angle deviations values into equivalent PWM which will be used to control the servo motors. The combination of the different servo motors will result in the robotic movement.
