SwarmTouch: Guiding a Swarm of Micro-Quadrotors with Impedance Control using a Wearable Tactile Interface

The dataset "Flight_Experiments_Data.zip" represents flight experiments information of the SwarmTouch project. During the experiment, involved participants were given a task to navigate a formation of drones through the obstacles maze relying only on tactile or visual feedback. For the experiment, users overcame two different unknown setups of obstacles, each setup firstly with tactile and then with vision feedback (two trials with tactile and two with visual (without glove) feedback in total).

The dataset "Patterns_Recognition_Data.zip " represents tactile patterns recognition experimental results. The tactile patterns were developed to represent the static and dynamic parameters of the drone swarm. This information is sent further to a human operator guiding a formation of drones with the help of tactile glove. During the experiment, each pattern was repeated once, and the subject was asked to enter the number of experienced stimuli. Each of the subjects experienced 64 stimuli (8 patterns were repeated 8 times in random order). The time of user response was also recorded.
