Cloud Enabled Drone Control

The system is designed to control a drone via Amazon Web Services. It utilizes a commercially available drone, an embedded processor board, and an Alexa Echo Dot. Using Amazon Web Services, a skill set was developed to interpret audio instructions as commands for the drone to track an object of a specific color. The drone is equipped with an ARM processor, two cameras, and a Linux operating system.
