Add MediaPipe gesture-based multirotor control example

[sushantkumarkhobian-lab]

Description

This PR adds a new Python example demonstrating gesture-based multirotor control using AirSim, MediaPipe, and OpenCV.

The example uses webcam-based hand tracking to recognize hand gestures and map them to drone commands in AirSim.

Features

• Real-time hand tracking using MediaPipe
• Webcam input with OpenCV
• Gesture-based drone control
• Hover command using a closed fist
• Ascend and descend controls
• Forward movement control
• Landing command through gesture recognition

Purpose

This example demonstrates how computer vision can be integrated with AirSim to create intuitive human-drone interaction workflows. It serves as an educational example for users interested in combining AirSim with hand-tracking and gesture-recognition systems.

Dependencies

• AirSim Python API
• OpenCV (opencv-python)
• MediaPipe (mediapipe)

Hi @jonyMarino,
Thank you for the positive feedback!
You are completely right. I realize now that I submitted this Pull Request against the archived repository by mistake. I would love to bring this feature over to the latest version of the platform.
I will close this PR and open a new one over at https://github.com/iamaisim/ProjectAirsim shortly. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
Best regards,
Sushant
