Introduction
The use of robotics technology in military led to a new field called Military Robotics
Military robots come in different shapes and sizes as per the task they are created for
Main function of robots nowadays is to assist and support the armed forces.

Problem Statement
USA and many other countries are losing many
military personnel during war on terror.
A way of fighting a war, while preserving the
lives of as many armed forces members is
paramount and is the problem we are looking
to solve.

Advantages and Drawbacks
Military work without risking
human lives
Relatively Inexpensive
Easy to use and deploy
Robot can be more mobile than
human units
LabVIEW should always remain
running on a pc.
Slow response due to number of
data sent and received.
Robotic systems tend to make a lot
of noise, which can reveal their
position to enemies.
Use of Robot is limited by range of
communication
![Page 20: Hand Gesture Military Robotengineering.nyu.edu/mechatronics/projects/ME5643... · Advantages and Drawbacks Military work without risking human lives Relatively Inexpensive Easy to](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081404/5f04c4c47e708231d40f9c1a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Future Improvements
Include real time vision system
Communication using satellite connection
Hand gestures mimicked using a combination of gyroscopes and accelerometers
Going even further than the military field, similar robotic systems can be used in many
different facets of life!

Conclusions
Implementation of this robot would reduce the casualties of war.
The system consisted of a remote controlled four wheeled robot that utilizes hand gestured
to be controlled.
Future work may include improvements in the hand gesture, communication and vision.
