Project Summary

The drone finds its application in every single field where a human operates. Due to huge number of its applications such as monitoring, surveillance, filming, autonomous tasks etc. the demand of drone has increased exponentially over the years.

In our project we propose designing of a drone that can be controlled by an application, gestures and voice commands that makes operating the drones easier. Through application will be able to control drone from any platform. The gesture control makes the movement of drone flexible so that drone can be navigated easily through small and narrow places. The voice control will also be done using the application. The voice will be captured through the microphone of the device
on which application is running. In this control method we will be able to analyze the real time video without worrying about operating the drone. All the methods of controls mentioned will make operating of the drone easier. The project will specifically be designed to support disaster management. This drone will be used after disaster to collect imagery data of the affected place which makes the identification of severely damage area and finding the most efficient routes for ambulances and rescue vehicles to travel.

During disaster acquiring of data efficiently is very useful to reach out the disaster area. Based on the data provided by places are divided on the basis of damage severity which helps in deciding the priorities and resources and man power distribution. But this method of acquiring data has a lot of problem i.e., it’s too expensive, takes time to deploy, less effective in narrow and small places due to altitude limitation and can’t provide the accurate coordinates of affected places. In order to overcome this problem, an alternate drone should be designed, that is less costly and is effective than the MAVs and can be deployed easily and pinpoint the exact coordinates which help out the rescue team to survive humanity. 

Project Objectives

• To design app that run on every platform
• To get real time video feed of situation
• To introduce ease to use drone control
• To create Application
• To design and add gesture control system
• To create voice control interface

Project Implementation Method

Professional drones with complex features require a professional operator. In our project we will be designing a drone prototype that can be controlled by an app, gestures and voice commands that makes operating the drones easier.

The project is specifically designed to provide support disaster management. This drone will be used during disaster situation for collecting imagery data of the affected places for identification of severely damage area and finding the easy way of survive.

In order to acheive this goals we will interface our hardware with a gesture sensors and web application through programming and software to operate it easily.

Benefits of the Project

The project is specifically designed to provide support disaster management. This drone will be used during disaster situation for collecting imagery data of the affected places for identification of severely damage area and finding the most efficient routes for ambulances and rescue vehicles to travel and rescue more people efficiently. 

Also this drone has the ability to opearte by using App, voice and gesture and so it doesnt require any expert to operate.
