Abstract

In order to support the tele-operation of drone, a new devise that can be controlled easily and intuitively, is proposed. The proposed devise also can display the feedback information from drone by tactile display, and it employs two visualization modes, first one is to display the difference between the drone’s direction and control direction by using the position of violators. Second one is to display the difference between the drone’s direction and control direction by using various frequencies. Through the experimental comparisons, the effectiveness of the proposed system is confirmed.
