A team of scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is developing an imaging system that will enable unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) aboard aircraft carriers to interpret and follow the commands of flight controllers directly, by recognizing their hand motions and gestures. PhD student Yale Song, his advisor Randall Davis, and researcher David Demirdjian are leading the effort, which has already yielded a rough version of the future system.
