【 摘 要 】

The interactions between humans and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), whose applications are increasing in the civilian field rather than for military purposes, are a popular future research area. Human–UAV interactions are a challenging problem because UAVs move in a three-dimensional space. In this paper, we present an intelligent human–UAV interaction approach in real time based on machine learning using wearable gloves. The proposed approach offers scientific contributions such as a multi-mode command structure, machine-learning-based recognition, task scheduling algorithms, real-time usage, robust and effective use, and high accuracy rates. For this purpose, two wearable smart gloves working in real time were designed. The signal data obtained from the gloves were processed with machine-learning-based methods and classified multi-mode commands were included in the human–UAV interaction process via the interface according to the task scheduling algorithm to facilitate sequential and fast operation. The performance of the proposed approach was verified on a data set created using 25 different hand gestures from 20 different people. In a test using the proposed approach on 49,000 datapoints, process time performance of a few milliseconds was achieved with approximately 98 percent accuracy.
