Use of Aerial Views in Remote Ground Vehicle Operations Roger A. Chadwick New Mexico State University Department of Psychology Douglas J. Gillan (PI) Remote Ground Vehicles The ARMY is developing remotely operated semi-autonomous ground vehicles for their future forces. Unmanned Ground Vehicles Two major classes of vehicle UGV = unmanned ground vehicle SUGV = small unmanned ground vehicle Use of SUGV in IRAQ 25th Army Science Conference briefing. Soldiers are currently using SUGVs in pre-assault of urban dwellings and caves. SUGVs used to clear IEDs from roadways. UAVs Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Small UAVs planned for wider use. Switch-blade movie UGV and UAV operations It makes sense to some military planners to combine UGV and UAV information. Also, consider combining UGV imagery with maps or satellite images. Problems with UGV operations Propose that spatial disorientation is always a problem in operation of these vehicles. Previous studies reveal much difficulty matching ground viewed objects to aerial views. Will use of aerial views assist? Integrating Air and Ground Views Task: Find ground target in Air-view Integrating Air and Ground Views Many errors are in depth. Experiment Method UGV tele-operated search mission with manipulation of aerial view. Air view conditions (between subjects) 1) no air view 2) “free” auto-tracked air view 3) operator simple point and click air view 4) operator cognitive loaded point and click air view (solve 2 digit addition problem) Procedure Consent Training in mini-rover operation Pre-test (timed relay run in practice area) Measure time to complete (RT) Measure number of faults (FAULTS) Pre-test (bridge crossing) Measure time to complete (RT) Measure number of tries (FAULTS) Subjective skill level rated (-3 to +3) Experimenter rates participant skill after pretests Procedure (continued) Search mission instructions Search Area A then Area B Counterbalanced areas Find as many targets (people) as possible in 10 minutes and accurat
