Abstract
An sUAS operations device that allows a pilot to fly an sUAS. The device includes a sensor interface to receive signals from a sensor attached to the pilot to monitor physiological responses of the pilot during the flight. The system records a video of the flight and synchronizes it with the sensor feedback to allow correlation of the stress levels with the flight. The system also may provide feedback to the pilot during flight.
Claims13
A ground control station for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), comprising:
- controls to allow a pilot to control flight of a UAV;
- a display to allow the pilot to view at least one of a video feed of the UAV and a video feed from the UAV;
- one or more ports to allow the station to receive signals from one or more sensors connected to the pilot and one or more video feeds;
- a memory to store the one or more video feeds and signals received through the one or more ports;
- and
- one or more processors configured to execute code that causes the one more processors to:
- apply artificial intelligence to the signals and the one or more video feeds to provide a pilot stress-related incident prediction;
- and
- notify the pilot if the incident prediction is above a threshold indicating a likelihood of an occurrence of a pilot stress-related incident.

A ground control system, comprising:
- one or more sensors configured to be in contact with a pilot;
- controls to allow a pilot to control flight of a UAV;
- one or more cameras, at least one camera attached to the UAV;
- a display to allow the pilot to view at least one of a graphic of the UAV and video from the UAV;
- one or more ports to allow the system to receive signals from the one or more sensors connected to the pilot and one or more video feeds;
- a memory to store the one or more video feeds and signals received through the one or more ports;
- and
- one or more processors configured to execute code that causes the one more processors to:
- apply artificial intelligence to the signals and the one or more video feeds to provide a pilot stress-related incident prediction;
- and
- notify the pilot if the incident prediction is above a threshold indicating a likelihood of an occurrence of a pilot stress-related incident.
