Abstract
System and method for controlling an aerial system, without physical interaction with a separate remote device, based on sensed user expressions. User expressions may include thought, voice, facial expressions, and/gestures. User expressions may be sensed by sensors associated with the aerial device or a remote device.
Claims26
An aerial system, comprising:
- a body;
- a lift mechanism coupled to the body;
- an optical system controllably mounted to the body by an actuation system;
- and
- a processing system coupled to the lift mechanism, the optical system, and the actuation system, the processing system configured to:
- recognize and track a target person,
- scan the target person for user expressions and compare against a set of predefined user expressions, each user expression in the set of user expressions having an associated type and an associated instruction, the type of each user expression being one of a first type and a second type;
- detect a first one of the predefined user expressions and
- if the type associated with the detected first one of the predefined user expressions is of the first type, execute the instruction associated with the first one of the predefined user expressions until a second one of the predefined user expressions is detected, and
- if the type associated with the detected first one of the predefined user expressions is of the second type:
- (1) initiate the instruction associated with the first one of the predefined user expressions, (2) continue to scan the target person for user expressions and (3) continue to execute the instructions associated with the first one of the predefined user expressions while the first one of the predefined user expressions is detected.
