Gesture-Controlled Drone
A prototype exploring gesture-based control of a programmable drone — investigating how computer vision and gesture recognition can translate human hand movements into real-time commands for a physical robotic system.
Objective
Translate hand gestures into real-time flight commands for a physical drone.
Current Approach
Computer-vision-based gesture recognition running against a programmable drone platform, with an emphasis on keeping recognition latency low enough for responsive, real-time control.
What I'm Testing
How large a gesture vocabulary the system can reliably distinguish, and where the recognition pipeline needs to run to keep latency within a usable range.
Current Milestone
Building the real-time gesture recognition pipeline and testing it against onboard flight controls.
Next Step
Expanding the gesture vocabulary and tightening recognition latency.
