This paper shows a way how to achieve all of this without risking human life using gesture controlled robots. Then, a robot can be useful to achieve some tasks just impossible to complete by a human operator. It just needs to be controlled by a human thus allowing a human to believe that he is actually there doing that task. It is more importantly used during natural calamities to lift or move heavy rubble to search for survivors. It is also used in scientific research. It is used to gather scientific data from dangerous and hazardous environments like in volcanoes. Wireless controlled robots are very useful in many applications like remote surveillance, military etc. Hand gesture controlled robot can be used by physically challenged in wheelchairs. They are also used to control industrial grade robotic arms .Applications can also include accidentally contaminated scenario (like a nuclear disaster) but also in an intentionally contaminated scenario (like a terrorist act or the use of biologic weapon). In short, the more the environment and the conditions present a threat, the more unmanned specialized robots come on stage. Then the gesture robot is of utmost importance in such scenarios.
