        abstract = {This project presents the design and development of a hand gesture-controlled car equipped with remote surveillance and navigation capabilities. The system is divided into a transmitter and a receiver unit. In the transmitter, an ESP8266 module reads real-time motion data from an MPU6050 sensor, which captures hand gestures in terms of pitch and roll. This data is wirelessly transmitted using the NRF24L01 module. The receiver section is powered by two Arduino boards: an Uno controls four DC motors via a motor driver for movement based on received gestures, while a Nano handles GPS and GSM modules for navigation and location tracking. For surveillance, an ESP32-CAM module streams live video. The entire receiver setup, including navigation and surveillance components, operates on a single 12V power supply. The system ensures movement accuracy using Mecanum wheels and features intelligent communication loss handling with buzzer alerts. The developed prototype was tested under various real-world conditions, demonstrating precise control, efficient surveillance, and reliable tracking. This hands-free interface can serve critical roles in rescue operations, military applications, and remote patrolling. Its modular and scalable design provides a strong foundation for future enhancements, such as AI-based obstacle detection, autonomous navigation, or integration with IoT networks.},
