Gesture Control of Quadcopter for a Stable Flight
Yu-Ming Lu, Chih-Chia Kuo, Yen-Lun Chen · 2018
In this paper, gesture control for quadcopter is studied. Firstly, a basic quadcopter is assembled to analyze the flying mechanism. Secondly, PID controller is analyzed to adjust pitch, roll, and yaw of the aircraft. Thirdly, distinct gestures are captured by leap motion to control the flight of quadcopter, which includes takeoff, land, rotation, forward, backward, left, and right. From 50 experimental trials of different hand gestures, the quadcopter responds to the gesture control and achieves a stable flight.
