Abstract
Recently, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) have been used widely for various applications, but the role of the human operator for their operation and control is indispensable because of lack of control system's autonomy. To improve the performance of the manual control of UAVs, a well-designed remote controller is needed, and the evaluation of operational performance of such a remote controller is important. In this paper, a single-stick remote controller of the joystick type was designed and evaluated in comparison with a conventional dual-stick remote controller. A comparative evaluation of operational performance in a simulation experiment using a quadrotor UAV was carried out. The results of the simulation experiment showed that the single-stick remote controller was superior to the dual-stick conventional one in all of the factors evaluated in the given manual control mission: the average operation time, tracking error rate, and learning effect. Also, subjective evaluations about the convenience of the control operation and the intuitiveness of the motion control for each remote controller were obtained by ratings from the experiment participants.
