WAPA: A Wearable Framework for Aerobatic Pilot Aid
نویسندگان
چکیده
Disorientation induced by G-forces during aerobatic flight generates difficulties for the pilots to perfectly align their aerobatic maneuver. This paper presents a modular wearable system for enhancing training of aerobatic pilots. A combination of accelerometers and a gyroscope is used to detect possible deviations compared to the optimum trajectory. The wearable system informs the user in real time about the corrections to apply via vibrotactile actuators and speech synthesis. This publication presents a work in progress in order to validate the system in simulation.

[Heart rate and rhythm during flight in civil pilots undergoing aerobatics. A Holter study].
Variations in heart rate and arrhythmic risk were analysed during aerobatic manoeuvres carried out by 23 amateur pilots, affiliated to an air club or in the French national team, during training or competitive flight, by 43 Holter 2-channel continuous electrocardiographic recordings. The maximum, mean and minimum heart rates were raised before the flight started and were observed to attain or e...
متن کاملA New Affect-Perceiving Interface and Its Application to Personalized Music Selection
A wearable computer that perceives and responds to the wearer’s affective state offers a new kind of perceptual interface. Instead of asking the user to continuously select preferences from a menu, the affective wearable gets to know its wearer’s preferences by recognizing and responding to signals that carry emotional information. This paper presents a new design for an affective wearable inte...

A recently-published paper by Wickremasinghe et al assesses the scalability of pilot projects in three countries using the aid effectiveness agenda as an analytical framework. The authors report uneven progress and recommend applying aid effectiveness principles to improve the scalability of projects. This commentary focuses on one key principle of aid effectiveness – country ownership; it desc...
متن کاملWearable Mobility Aid for Low Vision Using Scene Classification in a Markov Random Field Model Framework
This article describes work on a novel approach to vision enhancement for people with severe visual impairments. This approach utilizes computer vision techniques to classify scene content so that visual enhancement of the scene can identify semantically important concepts. The mediated view of a scene presented to the user is in the form of a highly-saturated color image in which distinct colo...
متن کاملControl Logic for Automated Aerobatic Flight of a Miniature Helicopter
In this paper we describe the control logic that enabled a small-scale unmanned helicopter to execute a completely automatic aerobatic maneuver. The logic consists of steady-state trim trajectory controllers, used prior to, and upon the exit from the maneuver; and a maneuver logic inspired by human pilot strategies. Extensive flight tests with this control logic demonstrated smooth entry into t...
