User Interface requirements
-
User must be able to command drone to arm and disarm via voice command

Flexpoint USB Glove Kit
The user interface for the Drone Glove Controller consists of a Flexpoint Glove kit containing 5 bend sensors. The Bend Sensor® performs best since it increases its resistance when bent. To achieve this, the sensor is placed on the finger with the text readable from the top. If the text is backward then the sensor is upside down.
Drone Glove Controller – User Interface Requirements:
​
Performance
-
The Glove must be flexible, durable, and easy to bend/maneuver.
-
The Glove must recognize/sense all movements performed by the user.
-
The Glove must send input to the Drone Control Command Module (DCCM).
Capacity
-
The Glove must be able to send input from each finger.
-
An input signal will be delivered via the FlexPoint bend sensors attached to each finger.
-
The ability to make a fist, point a finger, bend only selected fingers, and sense a motion that causes a change of height and location of the glove must be sent.
Availability
-
The Glove does not require a significant power source to operate and will not need a charge time
-
DGC is built into the glove and not detachable
-
DGC must function at all times and must require minimal downtime.
Latency
-
The DGC must perform on command every time the user makes any movement/motion.
-
The Glove must update the instance change requires, IRL.
Monitoring
-
The DGC FlexPoint Sensors are rated for over 1 million bends and shall require minimal to no monitoring.
-
In the event the DGC is non-functional, the board connected to the back of the hand is likely damaged and shall need replacement.
Maintenance
-
In the event maintenance is required, the glove must be removed from the user and disassembled in a clean environment.
Systems Interfaces
-
The Bend Sensor® product consists of a coated substrate, such as plastic, that changes in electrical conductivity as it is bent. Electronic systems connect to the sensor and measure with fine detail the amount of bending or movement that occurs.
Generic Bluetooth Headset
The user interface for the Drone Voice Controller consists of a bluetooth headset. Voice commands are input through a bluetooth connection to control the drone.
Drone Voice Controller – User Interface Requirements:
Performance
-
The headset must pick up voice commands given by the user.
-
These commands have been input to the Drone-Control Command Module (DCCM).
Capacity
-
The voice commands from the mic must be transmitted as an input signal.
Availability
-
This has a battery life that shall last around 14 hours and shall only require 2 hours of charging time.
Latency
-
Every time a voice command is given by the user, the headset must transmit the data.
Maintenance
-
The maintenance required would be to clean and charge the headset.
Systems Interfaces
-
The extremely light headset weighing only 0.46oz, comes with soft earbuds for comfort and flexible ear hooks.
