Design and control of quad copter using gestuer control

In this project we aim to use the Leap Motion platform and used it to control a quad copter with nothing but hand gestures. Using digital to analog converters and the arduino uno we will develop the quad copter's remote control to receive its commands from the leap motion sensor

Project Summary

Project Objectives

In this project our main goal is to make a quad copter controller using leap motion control. In order achieve the said aim, we have following main objectives:

To use leap motion controller to get gesture based input from the human
To develop system to interpret the gestures to communicate to the controller
To develop interface with quad-copter using arduino

Project Implementation Method

Currently, the drone quad copter are controlled mostly using a remote control, but in order to provide an intuitive natural interface, the gesture based control is essential. In general humans are good at using gestures to communicate easily, whereas using a remote control requires a lot of training, In order to facilitate a human user we would like provide a natural interface using gestures.

Benefits of the Project

Search and Rescue
Remote Environment Monitoring
Aerial Photography
Easy to control
