One example is the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) by human operators to inspect enclosed spaces. These units allow the search and identification of target objects, helping a human operator identify signs of Potentially Dangerous Situations (PDSs). At the same time in a closed (and often cluttered) space to control the emerging situations it is necessary to involve developed means of conducting spatial orientation based on Artificial Intelligence Technology, Computer Vision, 3D-visualization, Local Positioning And Navigation, etc. Despite the progress made in autonomous UAVs control, active human participation in detecting signs of PDSs is an important condition for maintaining the security of the internal environment of controlled premises. Human decision-making in situations of high uncertainty and incomplete data largely depends on means to improve his Situational Awareness (external conditions of activity) and Professional Competencies (internal conditions of activity). To form them, it is necessary to develop methodology and tools for building UAVs application scenarios to give operators the necessary user experience on simulation models in the Virtual Environment of Activity. The paper investigated the development of the Virtual Environment Systems (VES) for the implementation of UAVs application scenarios in enclosed spaces in relation to multicopters that allow both autonomous and manual control. As a result of this research, prototypes of UAVs for inspection of enclosed spaces have been identified; the prospects of quadcopters use under various PDSs scenarios have been shown; the composition of promising technologies ensuring UAVs use in enclosed environments has been described; the method of design and 3D visualization of UAVs application scenarios using the original VES (named VirSim) has been proposed. The advantages of the proposed approach to modeling the use of UAVs in PDSs are the multivariate scenarios of operators' activities, which contributes to the accumulation of user experience of human interaction with flying robots.","PeriodicalId":376940,"journal":{"name":"Robotics and Technical Cybernetics","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114812174","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such systems can compensate for the disturbing effects of the rolling of ships and allow the safe transfer of cargo on the high seas. One such system is an automated cargo receiving platform located on the receiving vessel. To assess the feasibility of its construction and efficiency of work, a physical model of an automatic stabilized platform has been developed using micromechanical measuring systems that ensure its stabilization in the horizontal plane. In the course of building the model, its functional and kinematic diagram was developed. The problem of processing the received «raw» data from microelectromechanical sensors: a gyroscope and an accelerometer has been solved. Control algorithms are constructed using a PID controller in the program code, as well as a complementary filter for combining accelerometer and gyroscope readings. The work of the model is to keep the platform in a horizontal plane; regardless of the movement of the base (the vessel on which it is installed). The created model showed high efficiency, fast response, positioning accuracy. The stabilization system developed on the basis of the simulated one is capable of working in difficult conditions, ensuring safety when loading on the open sea. Based on the developed model of the automatic stabilized platform, the adaptive output control algorithms were tested.","PeriodicalId":376940,"journal":{"name":"Robotics and Technical Cybernetics","volume":"99 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131628021","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
