Abstract

This research aims to create a robot that is controlled by the hand-puppet using the microcontroller which is equipped with a pair of transmitter and receiver data. The command will be sent from the hand-puppet to the robot which forms the interaction between the user and the robot. This robot has several motions which depend on the hand-puppet's motion combinations. The hand-puppet can control the robot because it is equipped with three types of sensors (reed sensor, flex sensor, and tilt sensor). The reed sensor is placed at the right hand of the hand-puppet whereas the tilt sensor is placed at the left hand of the hand-puppet, and the flex sensor is placed in the hand-puppet's mouth. This robot will move forward, backward, and rotate according to the hand-puppet's motion combinations. These motions are actuated by the 12 V DC motor. By equipping it with LEDs arranged to dot matrix, this robot can also show a variety of expressions. This research is expected to further develop the types of robots with new variations and the interaction with humans.
