Abstract

Conventionally, drones and robots are controlled using joysticks and remote controls. Here is a new idea: to approximate the feeling of “being the bird”, we introduce 3D fly-gestures and add VR-technology to stimulate our eyes. We chose a quadrotor and the combination of a Kinect, Virtual Reality Glasses and a Fuzzy-Controller as interface for processing instructions.
