Abstract

With the development of quad-rotor UAVs, UAVs have been widely used in civilian fields such as aerial photography, agricultural production, surveillance and rescue. Controlling drones is a complex and difficult task for human operators. Therefore, it is of great significance to reduce the burden of human operation and improve the efficiency of drones when performing tasks. With the development of some novel human-computer interaction technologies and the continuous improvement of drone autonomy, manipulating drones can become easier and more interesting. In this work, we designed a method that uses operator gaze to assist drone control and target following. We conducted verification experiments on the Tello UAV, and the experimental results show that eye tracking interaction makes the human operation process more natural, and the combination of eye movement behavior and semi-autonomous drone control further reduces the burden on operators and improves the reliability of drone missions.
