Abstract

As hobby and commercial drones become ever more popular, their prices become cheaper, their technology improves and they become ever more accessible to people. Drones are conventionally controlled using joysticks, remote controllers, mobile applications, and embedded computers. A few significant issues with these approaches are that drone control is quite complicated by using the existing controller at present. In this study the use of hand gestures as a method to control drones is proposed. The used of Arduino is investigated to develop an intuitive way of agent-less communication between a drone and its operator. The proposed framework involves a few key parts toward an ultimate action to be taken where they are an Arduino based transmitter that will be wore on the users’ hand, receiver that can receive the signal given from the users’ hand and finally conversion of data received into actionable drone movement, such as takeoff, rolling to the left and right, pitching forward and backward and so on. A set of gestures are studied in this work. A series of experiments are conducted to measure the accuracies of data given by specific degree of users’ hand. Classification accuracies show that the hand gesture transmitter gets to transmit a set of precise value within specific degree. The error of percentage is less than 1% for each category as well.
