Technical Report: Human-in-the-Loop Telemanipulation Platform for Automation-in-the-Loop Unmanned Aerial Systems

Abstract

In the context of human-vehicle teamwork, this report elucidates the development of a telemanipulation platform that enables real-time remote human involvement with various HITL delay-sensitive telemanipulation schemes with A-UAVs during BVLOS operations. How to create the best possible location-independent co-work between intelligent A-UAVs and skilled HTMs is explained. By enabling omnipresence, HITL telemanipulation with the critical, economical, and timely interventions described in this report can play a key role in allowing A-UAVs to handle a multitude of uncertainties and difficult tasks instantly.
