Beyond the Driverless Car.
Team of Engineering, CS Students Enhance Future of Remote Vehicles
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University
By Katharina Lane
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University researchers have combined a small unmanned aircraft system (sUAS), an augmented reality (AR) headset, and a neuromuscular gesture recognition armband to develop a tool that enables unmanned aircraft pilots to safely operate remote aerial vehicles while remaining mobile and carrying out other tasks. The new system is a wearable technology that mimics natural human-to-human interaction. In addition, the AR system lets users communicate with each other, and can be programmed to enable users to access only information they have clearance to see, says Embry-Riddle's Adam Berlier. He notes the system relies on a Microsoft HoloLens AR headset and an MYO gesture recognition armband (previously developed by Embry-Riddle researchers) so users can retain situational awareness while controlling the remote vehicle. "In addition to first responders, this technology would be very useful for sUAS inspections of structures such as power lines or wind turbines," says Embry-Riddle's Brandon Koury .... "
