Identify Punch and Flex Hand Gestures Using Machine Learning Algorithm on Arduino Hardware

Use the Simulink® Support Package for Arduino® Hardware to identify punch and flex hand gestures using a machine learning algorithm. The example is deployed on an Arduino Nano 33 IoT hardware board that uses an onboard LSM6DS3 6DOF IMU sensor to identify the hand gestures. The output from the machine learning algorithm, after identifying whether a hand gesture is a punch or a flex, is transmitted to the serial port where 0 represents a punch and 1 represents a flex.

Develop Gyroscope-Based Pedometer Using Arduino

How MATLAB® Function blocks are used in Simulink® models to implement algorithms using MATLAB functions. An Arduino® MKR1000 board is used to count the number of steps a person takes while walking. The pedometer is attached to the thigh of the person in such a way that the x-axis of the gyroscope is perpendicular to the direction of walking. The data from a gyroscope sensor is sent to an Android device using the User Datagram Protocol (UDP).
