Steer-By-Wire Implementation Using Kinect

Steer by wire is one of the most advanced technologies used in the automobile industry. This paper describes implementation of Kinect based Steer-by-wire system. It elaborates a novel concept of vehicle steering by use of hand gestures. The key idea is to replace the steering wheel and angle sensor by Kinect and use its gesture recognition capability for performing steering actions. This paper focuses on advanced control design method to carry out steering functions using gesture recognition.
