Drone Hand Gesture Recognition System

My research project on creating a hand gesture control system for a UAV or Drone.

This research project explores intuitive UAV control through real-time hand gesture recognition.

The system uses computer vision and deep learning to map hand keypoints to flight commands, enabling a natural interaction loop between a user and a drone.

Research highlights:

  • Gesture recognition pipeline based on visual keypoint extraction
  • Neural network classifier for multi-command gesture prediction
  • Real-time control for practical drone interaction scenarios

This work was presented at the CNAS Undergraduate Research Symposium and contributed to my broader research path in applied AI and human-centered interfaces.
