| Title |
New User Interface for Drone Control |
| Supervisor |
R. Selmic |
| Description |
This project aims to develop a novel user interface for a drone (quad-rotor) control. Present drone control joysticks are not intuitive and control of drones requires training and practice. A new user interface can include a gesture-based control, a smart glove, a smart watch for control, new device to be developed, and any combination of those. The impact of a new user interface will be an improved user’s experience through simplified control interface. In this project, students are required to research and develop new user interface control that can include some body-wearing sensors and devices. The project can be staged from simpler to more advanced subtasks as follows:
• Develop control methods that are based on static gestures to be recognized either by the camera-based system or by body-wearing sensors.
• Develop a control methods that would change pitch, roll, and yaw angle during hover phase based on the user’s arm/hand/fingers position.
• Research and develop learning mechanisms where control is adjusted based on the feedback from the user.

| Requirement |
Students need to have basic electronics, control systems, and software development background. System engineering will include a mix of different engineering areas.
|
| Tools |
A camera, a microprocessor, and a quad-rotor will be required. No custom-based hardware is needed. However, a new algorithms and software code will be developed. |
