Creating enhanced interfaces for cyber-physical-social systems: the remote drone control experiment
Journal Title: Revista Romana de Interactiune Om-Calculator - Year 2018, Vol 11, Issue 2
Abstract
In the area of cyber-physical-social systems there is always a huge demand for integration and adaptation; most often, these two tasks go together. There are very few practical cases when every module fits perfectly into a system. The concept of puzzle pieces can be applied only on a high-level logic, but in the experimental development stages things tend to be more complex. The purpose of our work is to be able to integrate various modern interfaces into existing systems in order to ease the interaction process or experiment unexplored areas. Our current contribution presents the case of changing the classic remote control of a drone towards using enhanced interfaces, like using a leap-motion controller and / or a mobile processing device. The main purpose of this work is to understand and observe the proper ways to deal with communication and protocol delays, human adaptation to enhanced controls and identify the integration challenges. Once all this can be achieved at a decent level we plan to extrapolate and conduct more work for trying to apply similar logic for controlling other devices like: collaborative robots, industrial transportation machines and other complex cyber-physical-social devices.
