Abstract
As the number of UAVs increase, the risk of accidental crashes also grows. A critical examination of these accidents reveals that human error is a major cause. This suggests a need to improve the remote piloting of UAVs. This paper explores the use of motion platforms to augment pilot performance. This approach follows studies on human factors performance and cognitive loading. The resulting design serves as a test bed to study UAV pilot performance, create training programs, and ultimately a platform to avoid UAV accidents.
