The document describes a gesture controlled robot with obstacle avoidance capabilities built using an Arduino, accelerometer, ultrasonic sensor, Bluetooth module, DC motors, and power supply. The robot can be controlled wirelessly by gestures detected by an Android mobile application. It also avoids obstacles autonomously using the ultrasonic sensor and overrides user commands if an obstacle is detected. The goal is to help people with disabilities or improve material handling. Future work could explore using WiFi, edge sensors, cameras, or applying it to wheelchairs.
