2012 Demo Events on Intercontinental Shared Control of Multiple UAVs

Submitted by Antonio Franchi on

In 2012 I co-organized two demo events on Intercontinental Shared Control of Multiple UAVs.

Brief Demo Description:

Human volunteers from Korea have been enabled with a 3DOF haptic device in order to bilaterally interact with a group of UAVs flying at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics in Tübingen, Germany. Communication is realized through an ordinary internet connection, subject to big delay, jittering, and packet loss.
