Abstract

With the ever-growing potential of using UAVs in various fields there is a need for proper training of their remote pilots. This paper presents a newly developed tool for the training and testing of UAV remote pilots, based on the measurement of their responses in controlling a simulated UAV in 2D space. The evaluation system consists of a conventional RC controller and a PC running Python scripts for the measurement and preprocessing of data and the MATLAB System Identification Toolbox for the calculation of the parameters based on the human model. Based on the initial testing results, which were carried out with an experienced pilot and a beginner, four key parameters were identified, that would be used for the evaluation of the performance of UAV remote pilots. Furthermore, the developed system could be used for training purposes to learn the basic principles and dynamics of UAVs in a safe environment.
