In this paper, we have proposed hand gesture recognition incorporated to control mobile robots in real time. In our system we have used single webcam to capture the images and these images send to processor. Images segmented on the basis of skin color thresholding and gestures are recognized. Processor takes the decision on the bases of recognized gesture and send that decision to microcontroller and motors work accordingly. Incorporation of Watershed algorithm makes the gesture recognition more accurate.
