Abstract
Recently, flying robots such as multicopters are being used for various indoor and outdoor situations. The methods for operating a multicopter are either programming a flight path or using a controller. However, both methods require user preparation in order to control a multicopter as expected. This research proposes a finger-pointing multicopter operation method that uses a Kinect system and position error measurement. As a result, it has been found that it is possible to reduce the error by calculating both finger-pointing and head position coordinates with the aimed targetposition determined by body orientation. Further work will include a finger-pointing smartphone application and a program for operating a multicopter in a simulator.
