Abstract—Robot navigation control with effective optimization has always been the area of research. Effectiveness of any application proved successful if it is easy to apply. In this paper, literature review of various authors is summarized. The literature specifically deals with the techniques of gesture recognition and speech recognition techniques. The proposed state of work heads towards the development of efficient technique to control robot navigation using combination of gesture and speech recognition techniques. This is an ergonomic approach for an ease of robotic application. Once the technique is developed and implemented, the further work of analysis of robot arm motions will be carried out.
