St. Petersburg State University of Aerospace Instrumentation (SUAI) has created a universal system that allows assessing sensory organization, vestibular stability, and the ability of an FPV drone operator to adapt to changing conditions. A patent has been obtained for the invention.
The system combines a stability platform with roll and pitch sensors, a virtual reality system, and a computer data analysis algorithm.
«The operator standing on the platform is immersed in a flight simulation using VR glasses, where he must synchronize his movements with a virtual drone. The device captures the slightest deviations in the work of the vestibular apparatus, visual perception and somatic system, calculating the percentage of errors using a special algorithm,» explained Konstantin Timofeev, developer, employee of the Department of Aerospace Measurement and Computing Complexes at SUAI.
The special feature of the development is the integration of all test procedures into a single hardware and software package — a single system that simultaneously evaluates sensory organization, vestibular stability and the ability of the drone operator to adapt to changing conditions.
