Operator Choice Modeling for UAV Visual Search Tasks
(IEEE Transactions, 2012-09)
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) provide unprecedented access to imagery of possible ground targets of interest in real time. The availability of this imagery is expected to increase with envisaged future missions of one ...
Unloved Aerial Vehicles: Gutting its UAV plan, the Air Force sets a course for irrelevance
(Armed Forces Journal, 2012-11)
This month's cover article challenges Air Force leader on the subject of unmanned aerial vehicles. Lt. Col. Lawrence Spinetta and Missy Cummings see disaster, or at least a long-term slide into irrelevance, in recent ...
Operator Objective Function Guidance for a Real-time Unmanned Vehicle Scheduling Algorithm
(AIAA Journal of Aerospace Computing, 2012-12)
Advances in autonomy have made it possible to invert the typical operator-to-unmanned-vehicle ratio so that asingle operator can now control multiple heterogeneous unmanned vehicles. Algorithms used in unmanned-vehicle ...
Field Testing of a Quad Rotor Smartphone Control System
(International Journal of Micro Air Vehicles, 2012)
With recent regulatory efforts to reduce restrictions placed on the operation of Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) in the United States, it is likely that in the next few years, these vehicles will become commonplace in the ...
,The Impact of Human-Automation Collaboration in Decentralized Multiple Unmanned Vehicle Control
(Proceedings of the IEEE, 2012)
For future systems that require one or a small team of operators to supervise a network of automated agents, automated planners are critical since they are faster than humans for path planning and resource allocation in ...
Assessing Operator Strategies for Real-time Replanning of Multiple Unmanned Vehicles
(Intelligent Decision Technologies, 2012)
Future unmanned vehicles systems will invert the operator-to-vehicle ratio so that one operator controls a decentralized network of heterogeneous unmanned vehicles. This study examines the impact of allowing an operator ...
Collaborative Exploration with a Micro Aerial Vehicle: A Novel Interaction Method for Controlling a MAV with a Hand-Held Device
(Advances in Human-Computer Interaction, 2012)
In order to collaboratively explore an environment with a Micro Aerial Vehicle (MAV), an operator needs a mobile interface, which can support the operator’s divided attention. To this end, we developed the Micro Aerial ...
