Your task in this study is to improve your proficiency at playing a quadrotor (drone) landing game. In the game, you are tasked with navigating a quadrotor to a landing pad. A feature of this game is that it includes feedback to help you improve your skill in the game. The feedback will be presented each time you complete the game.
You will be interacting with a simulated training module to learn how to land a quadrotor.
The goal is to fly the quadrotor from the starting point to the landing pad.
You will control the quadrotor's thrust force and tilt angle using your keyboard.
Pressing and holding "W" increases thrust force, causing the quadrotor to accelerate.
Pressing and holding "S" decreases thrust force, causing the quadrotor to decelerate.
If the thrust force is near zero, then gravity is the only force acting on the quadrotor.
Pressing and holding the right arrow key causes the quadrotor to rotate clockwise.
Pressing and holding the left arrow key causes the quadrotor to rotate counter-clockwise.
Press Next to continue.
Your primary goal is to land the quadrotor as well as minimize the time it takes for you to successfully land the quadrotor. To accomplish these goals, aim to navigate the quadrotor to the landing pad in a controlled manner.
In order to safely land the quadrotor, the quadrotor has to land on the landing pad at a speed below 15.0 m/s and tilt angle within ±5°. This is categorized as a safe landing. If the quadrotor lands on the landing pad outside of the safe landing criteria, the landing will be categorized as an unsafe landing.
If the quadrotor hits the window bounds, the quadrotor will crash. This is categorized as a crash.
For your reference, live speed and tilt data is provided on the left side of the screen. Additionally, time is provided. You have 2 minutes to land the quadrotor before the battery dies.
Press Next to continue.
Press Back to review the previous instructions.
To start the game, press either the thrust (W or S keys) or tilt (left or right arrow keys).
You will play the game 20 times. You will receive feedback each time you play the game.
Each time you receive feedback, you will be re-directed to play again.
Please maximize the screen before starting the game.
Press Next to continue.
Press Back to review the previous instructions.
This is trial out of 20.
Press either the thrust (W or S keys) or tilt (left or right arrow keys) to begin the game and land the quadrotor.
A landing is safe if your speed is below 15.0 m/s and your tilt angle is within ±5°.
Press Generate Feedback to continue once you complete the game.
This could take up to a minute.
Press See Feedback to continue.
