Traditional drone control techniques employ remote control devices, which might be difficult to operate. The instrumented glove lets operators control drones with natural hand motions. Sensors in the glove translate the operator's hand gestures into drone motions. The instrumented glove is versatile. Military reconnaissance and surveillance operations may benefit from the glove. Commercial aerial photography, surveying, and inspection may benefit from it. It can operate medical drones to transfer supplies and equipment to distant regions. Overall, the instrumented glove is an intriguing drone technology discovery that might change how drones are used in numerous sectors. Drone operations may be more efficient and accurate with the glove's simplified control technique. The study examines this technology's potential across several sectors, noting its pros and cons. Thus, it lays the groundwork for drone control research using instrumented gloves.
