“…To this end, an altitude hold task was designed and validated on graduate students enrolled in the Computational Engineering postgraduate program at National University of Sciences & Technology, Islamabad. The altitude hold task was chosen on the basis of the findings from previous studies [19] which show that haptic feedback has a significant effect on performance when it is related to pitch rotation (up and down movement) as compared to yaw or roll rotations.…”

Flying an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is a challenging task, due to the absence of direct sensory information such as a view of surroundings, sound, vibrations, and motion. It is important to provide these sensory stimulations to an operator for better situational awareness and efficient control. In this research, we study the effects of incorporating haptic feedback in UAV flight control. We present an experimental evaluation of three flight control scenarios, that is, in the absence of haptic feedback, in the presence of realistic haptic feedback, and an exaggerated haptic feedback. These three conditions are tested for an altitude hold, gain, and descent task in the flight simulation environment. A linear mathematical model is used to simulate the flight dynamics of a UAV controlled by a 6 DOF Touch 3D Stylus haptic device. Fifteen untrained users are recruited to participate in the flight simulation experiment. The analysis of the results of the experiment indicates an improvement in the longitudinal flight control performance. Specifically, the altitude hold task is better performed with no feedback, the altitude gain with exaggerated haptic feedback, and the altitude descent with realistic haptic feedback. A subjective evaluation in the end corroborates these findings.

“…Operators rely on haptic cues more in a virtual landing task, as compared to visual cues which can reduce landing illusions. Moreover, haptic feedback has more impact for up/down movements (i.e., elevator control or pitch rotation) rather than left/right movement (i.e., roll and yaw rotations) [19].…”

“…In order to overcome this problem, the redesigned mechanical controls must provide proper artificial force feedback to stimulate human kinesthetic sensations; thus, active haptic inceptors have been developed recently [61][62][63]. Furthermore, this can be supplemented with an additional set of haptic stimuli, which can communicate to the human operator various other information related to the operational system state and environment, in order to assist him/her in control and to improve situational awareness, safety, and performance [64][65][66][67][68]. High-fidelity force feedback driven by complex mathematical models is required for a more authentic response and engaging user experience.…”

In the serial hybrid electric propulsion system of a small propeller aircraft the battery state of charge is fluctuating due to the diversity of possible power flows. Overwhelming visual information on the cockpit displays, besides requiring visual pilot attention, increases pilot workload, which is undesirable, especially in risky flight situations. Haptic interfaces, on the other hand, can provide intuitive cues that can be applied to enhance and simplify the cockpit. In this paper, we deal with an enhanced power lever stick, which can provide feedback force feel with haptic cues for enhanced information flow between the pilot and the powertrain system. We present selected haptic patterns for specific information related to the fluctuating battery state of charge. The haptic patterns were designed to reduce pilot workload, and for easy use, safe and energy-efficient control of the hybrid electric powertrain system. We focus on the advanced control design for high-performance force feedback required for rendering fine haptic signals, which stimulates the sensitive haptics of a pilot’s hand-arm system. The presented control algorithm has been designed by the sliding mode control (SMC) approach in order to provide disturbance rejection and high-fidelity haptic rendering. The proposed control design has been validated on an experimental prototype system.
