Abstract
In this paper, gimbal camera control through smart gloves was implemented to increase convenience and accessibility to the control of drones used in various fields. Smart gloves identify human gestures and transmit signals through Bluetooth. The received signal is converted into a signal suitable for the drone through a GCS (Gound Control Station). Signals from smart gloves are expressed in a quaternion method to prevent gimbal locks, but for gimbal cameras, conversion is required to use Roll, Pitch, and Yaw methods. The data conversion mission is performed in the GCS. The GCS transmits an input signal to the control board of the drone through Wi-Fi. The control board generates and outputs the transmitted signal in a PWM manner. The output signal is input to the gimbal camera through the SBUS method and controlled. The input signal of the smart glove averaged 0.093 s and up to 0.099 s to output to the gimbal camera, showing that there was no problem in real-time use.
