Beyond controlling the robotic system through physical devices, recent method of gesture control has become very popular. The main purpose of using gestures is that it provides a more natural way of controlling and provides a rich and intuitive form of interaction with the robotic system.

2. INTRODUCTION
Now a days robots are increasingly being integrated into working
tasks to replace humans esp. to perform the repetitive task.
In worst case scenario, humans pick and place the bomb
somewhere for containment and for repeated pick and place
action in industries.
Therefore a human can be replaced by Robot to do work.

6. Useful for
sensing
vibrations in
systems.
Contain
capacitive
plates.
Some are fixed, while
others are attached to
miniscule springs that
move as acceleration
forces, act upon the
sensor.
As these plates move in relation to each other,
the capacitance between them changes. From these
changes, the acceleration can be determined.
They can be centered
on piezoelectric
materials. These tiny
crystal structures
output electrical
charge when placed
under mechanical
stress.

5. ACTUATION
The "muscles" of a mechanical arm, the
parts which convert stored energy into
movement.
Most popular actuators are electric motors
that spin a wheel or gear, and linear
actuators that control industrial mechanical
arm in factors.
But there are some recent advances in
alternative types of actuators, powered by
electricity, chemicals, or compressed air.

17. is a robot manipulator, programmable with
similar functions to a human arm.
The end effectors can be designed to perform
any desired task such as, gripping, spinning
etc, depending on the application.
