An experiment was performed to assess the effect of using a Helmet Mounted Display (HMD) versus a conventional computer monitor and joystick to perform an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) sensor operator target search task. Eight subjects were evaluated on objective performance measures including their target detection accuracy and responses, in addition to subjective measures including workload, fatigue, situational awareness, and simulator sickness in both experimental conditions. Subjects were flown through a virtual world and asked to identify objects as targets, non-targets, or distractors. Results for objective measures indicated no difference in the operators' ability to accurately classify targets and non-targets. The subjects' ability to place the cursor on a target of interset (targeting accuracy), was, however, significantly better in the computer monitor condition than the HMD. The distance at which subjects could classify an object's identity was also significantly better in the computer monitor condition. Subjective measures showed no overall differences for sel-reported fatigue, workload, and situational awareness. A significant disadvantage, however, was found for the HMD with respect to self-reported nausea, disorientation, and oculomotor strain. Results are discussed in terms of their implications for the incorporation of HMDs into UAV ground control station operations."" 外文数据库- 外文数据库
Multirotor UAVs are being widely employed for periodic inspections of large-scale industrial facilities to protect workers from hazardous conditions such as precarious heights and toxic chemicals. The government apparatus that ushered in the era of nuclear weapons and energy combines and compounds those hazards into enormous buildings and very high-consequence materials, many now reaching end-of-life. The decontamination and decommissioning of such structures sometimes requires inspection for low-levels of high- and low-energy radioactive materials and other toxic components. This often requires physical interaction for sampling or cleaning operations. However, manual control of physical interaction with UAVs requires experienced operators, induces fatigue, and the radio communication is often impeded by thick, reinforced walls that shield the materials. In this paper, an autonomous physical interaction control strategy to interact with the inside walls of exhaust shafts using fully-actuated UAV is proposed. In this method, the physical interaction is achieved by approaching normal to the surface, which is a precursor to establish a steady contact using hybrid physical interaction control. Estimating the local surface normal using the indoor positioning systems is limited by the low illumination and geometrical symmetry. Therefore, we estimate the local surface normal using the on-board 2D lidar and autonomously control the yaw orientation, along with planar position, in the approach phase. For mechanical simplicity, a rigid arm is attached to the fully-actuated UAV to perform contact-intensive tasks on the inside walls. Experiments were carried in laboratory and mock-up shaft of Dept. of Energy, to show the effectiveness in performing a contact-intensive task inside shafts. 外文数据库- 外文数据库

The Autopilot of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is a system with the capability of controlling roll, pitch, and yaw of UAV. It also capable to maintain the altitude of UAV automatically. Moreover, it assists UAV travel according to the waypoints and take-off/landing automatically. The features of Autopilot become important to support UAV tasks such as aerial mapping activities, territorial monitoring, and tourism documentation. The paper presents development of GPS-based UAV autopilot system that has several flying modes: (1) stabilize (user manually controls the movement of the aircraft using remote controller, the balance of the aircraft is automatically maintained by the autopilot), (2) automatic (the aircraft automatically flies along the waypoint), (3) take-off/landing (the plane lands and takeoff automatically). The proposed system is developed using Arduino Mega 2560 as the main controller to acquire sensor data, control the roll, pitch, and yaw of the plane, calculate the heading of the plane, and obtain the signal control to the servo motors. The sensors consist of an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) of MPU 6050 type, ultrasonic, barometer sensor of BMP 180, magnetometer, and GPS. The system uses Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller to maintain the position of the plane (roll, pitch, and yaw) and the altitude. Landing mode uses ultrasonic sensors to measure the altitude of the aircraft when the altitude is less than 3 meters. The proposed system has been successfully implemented and tested. The maximum error during waypoint mode is 50 meters. 外文数据库- 外文数据库
