Abstract
A single-handed hand held remote control for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is disclosed. The remote control includes a throttle control and a motion sensor(s) to detect various hand movements that can be mapped to various degrees of freedom. As the user moves the remote control, a micro-processor takes sampled data from the motion sensor(s) and determines a hand gesture which is used to identify a control instruction for the UAV. The control instruction is then transmitted via radio signal to the UAV to move the UAV accordingly. Some embodiments include a wrist member with its own motion sensor to improve on the movement sensing and provide enhanced control features.
