Build a Gesture-Controlled Robot with Arduino Nano & MPU6050 – No Remote Needed

Every part needed, pre‑tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3‑5 days.

Imagine driving a robot just by tilting your hand – forward, backward, left, right. No joysticks, no buttons, no apps. This Gesture Control Robot Kit turns that idea into a real working prototype using two Arduino Nanos and an MPU6050 accelerometer‑gyroscope. One Nano lives on your wrist as a wearable transmitter, the other sits on the 2WD chassis receiving tilt angles over Bluetooth. It’s a hands‑on dive into sensor fusion, wireless communication, and motor driver logic that feels like magic from the first tilt.

What You'll Build

You’ll assemble a wrist‑worn transmitter that reads tilt angles from the MPU6050 and sends them via HC‑05 Bluetooth. The rover receives those angles and translates them into motor commands – forward tilt moves the robot forward, backward tilt reverses, and left/right tilts steer. The final result is a responsive, gesture‑steered 2WD robot that you can demonstrate at school science fairs, engineering labs, or even as a concept for assistive wearable tech.

What You'll Learn

• Read raw accelerometer and gyroscope data from MPU6050 over I2C and convert it into stable tilt angles
• Program two Arduino Nanos – one as a transmitter, one as a receiver – with real‑time Bluetooth data packets
• Pair HC‑05 Bluetooth modules in master‑slave configuration using AT commands
• Drive TT gear motors through an L298N motor driver, mapping gesture direction to PWM speed and rotation
