According to embodiments of the disclosed technology, apparatuses and methods are provided for an unmanned flying craft that senses different aspects of its surroundings and adjusts flying patterns in response thereto. The apparatus may employ a plurality of sensors for detecting and receiving information and/or signals from locations surrounding the apparatus. The disclosed technology may employ sensors directed to receiving and translating hand gesture signals performed by a user. Moreover, other sensors may constantly monitor elevation and automatically control altitude based on elevation. Still further, proximity sensors may sense nearby obstacles to be avoided by the flying craft.
