Abstract

This study presents an accelerometer-assisted human gesture detection system designed using ARM microcontroller architecture for real-time embedded applications. The proposed system leverages a tri-axial accelerometer (ADXL335/ADXL345) integrated with an ARM Cortex-M based controller to capture hand motion, extract dynamic features, and classify gesture patterns. A threshold-based pattern recognition algorithm is implemented to identify commonly used gestures such as tilt, shake, directional movements, and predefined control actions. The system demonstrates high responsiveness, low power consumption, and improved accuracy through digital filtering and adaptive calibration. Experimental evaluation indicates a gesture recognition accuracy of 94.2%, outperforming traditional 8-bit microcontroller-based systems by 19% in terms of processing speed and 23% in noise immunity. The findings emphasize the potential of ARM-based embedded gesture interfaces in human–machine interaction, IoT, assistive technologies, and smart automation.
