Haptic Interaction

Haptics is the science of the sense of feel and touch. Haptic interfaces use forces, generally on the hands, to transmit information. Forces on a control device typically lead to a direct influence from the haptic system on the control input, creating a situation of shared control.

  • Evidence-Based Control Loading Requirements

    • Status: Active
    • From June 2016 until June 2016

    Anyone who ever tried to control a flight simulation game with a keyboard only, will appreciate the feeling of good control devices. When we grab a steering wheel, o...

  • Haptic support for UAV collision avoidance

    • Status: Active
    • Since October 2015

    The operation of helicopter or multirotor UAV’s in built environments and environments with moving obstacles is difficult, because the motion possibilities of...

  • Systematic Framework for Teleoperation with Haptic Shared Control

    • Status: Completed
    • From May 2012 until April 2017

    Teleoperation – performing tasks remotely by controlling a robot – permits the execution of many important tasks that would otherwise be infeasible for people to...

Cognition and Action

Cognition is not an isolated phenomenon, but an result from the interaction with the environment. Action and interaction are needed produce a valid cognitive environment.

  • Human performance and learning

    • Status: Active
    • Since September 2015

    Despite today’s high levels of safety in aviation, there is a persistent category of fatal accidents caused by an inadequate response of the flight crew to unexpec...

Real-Time Simulation

Simulation is an essential tool to create valid environments for studying human behaviour and system performance

Handling Qualities

Handling Qualities are those properties of an aircraft which govern the ease and precision by which the pilot-aircraft system can perform a given task
