I Made a Drone Obey My Hand — Then Realized Something Bigger

I once built a drone that obeyed my hand gestures.

No remote. No controller. Just me, a Raspberry Pi, and a bit of computer-vision code.

✋ Hands up — the drone took off.
👇 Naruto-style hand signs — it landed.

It could even follow me around.

It started as a fun side project — something to remind me why I fell in love with engineering in the first place.

Before business automations, there were electronics, IoT experiments, and augmented-reality prototypes. Engineering was my playground.

But somewhere between the gesture commands and the flight tests, something clicked:

If a small chip and a few lines of code can make a drone respond to human gestures, what can automation do for an entire business?

We’re already seeing the answer play out every day.

• AI agents that handle customer support.
• Workflows that quietly save thousands in overhead.
• Systems that keep the lights on while founders sleep.

And maybe one day, those same drones will deliver products, inspect facilities, or manage logistics — powered by the same kind of logic I used in my backyard experiment.

That’s the power of modern automation.

It’s not about replacing people — it’s about reclaiming time, removing friction, and building businesses that operate at scale without chaos.

That’s what the Corporate Automation Library was built for — 50+ ready-to-use workflows that turn manual grind into machine-run precision.

Because if a drone can learn to obey a wave, your business can learn to run itself.
