| Summary: | Automatic recognition of sign language from hand gesture images is crucial for enhancing human-robot interaction, especially in critical scenarios such as rescue operations. In this study, we employed a DJI TELLO drone equipped with advanced machine vision capabilities to recognize and classify sign language gestures accurately. We developed an experimental setup where the drone, integrated with state-of-the-art radio control systems and machine vision techniques, navigated through simulated disaster environments to interact with human subjects using sign language. Data collection involved capturing various hand gestures under various environmental conditions to train and validate our recognition algorithms, including implementing YOLO V5 alongside Python libraries with OpenCV. This setup enabled precise hand and body detection, allowing the drone to navigate and interact effectively. We assessed the system's performance by its ability to accurately recognize gestures in both controlled and complex, cluttered backgrounds. Additionally, we developed robust debris and damage-resistant shielding mechanisms to safeguard the drone's integrity. Our drone fleet also established a resilient communication network via Wi-Fi, ensuring uninterrupted data transmission even with connectivity disruptions. These findings underscore the potential of AI-driven drones to engage in natural conversational interactions with humans, thereby providing vital information to assist decision-making processes during emergencies. In conclusion, our approach promises to revolutionize the efficacy of rescue operations by facilitating rapid and accurate communication of critical information to rescue teams.
