In today's world, in almost all sectors, most of the work is done by robots or robotic arm having different number of degree of freedoms (DOF's) as per the requirement. This paper deals with the Design and Implementation of a "Wireless Gesture Controlled Robotic Arm with Vision". The system design is divided into 3 parts namely: Accelerometer Part, Robotic Arm and Platform. It is basically an Accelerometer based system which controls a Robotic Arm wirelessly using a, small and low-cost, 3-axis (DOF's) accelerometer via RF signals. The Robotic Arm is mounted over a movable platform which is also controlled wirelessly by another accelerometer. One accelerometer is mounted / attached on the human hand, capturing its behaviour (gestures and postures) and thus the robotic arm moves accordingly and the other accelerometer is mounted on any of the leg of the user / operator, capturing its gestures and postures and thus the platform moves accordingly. In a nutshell, the robotic arm and platform is synchronised with the gestures and postures of the hand and leg of the user / operator, respectively. The different motions performed by robotic arm are: PICK and PLACE / DROP, RAISING and LOWERING the objects. Also, the motions performed by the platform are: FORWARD, BACKWARD, RIGHT and LEFT. The system is equipped with an IP based camera also which can stream real time video wirelessly to any Internet enabled device such as Mobile Phone, Laptop, etc.
