Automatic Control of a Quadcopter, AR. Drone, using a Smart Glove

Following the development of the semiconductor industry appeared increasingly smaller sized components. This has led to quad-copters, using mathematical models, implemented to a hardware platform with dedicated software for motion control. Quad-copters are difficult to drive, because they have six degrees of freedom, each operated separately from the joystick. In this context, this paper presents a control concept for quad-copters. The main features of this system are: ergonomics, ease of learning commands and portability. This system can be used for teaching purposes for initiating students into the world flying machines.
