Abstract;Recently unmanned helicopters are used in various situations such as cropdusting and remote sensing. However it is difficult for an operator to control an unmanned helicopter remotely. One reason is that an operator can not know the attitude of a helicopter intuitively. In this paper, we propose a new immersive teleoperating system of an unmanned helicopter. An operator controls a helicopter remotely while watching the surrounding views of the helicopter through a HMD. This system enables an operator to fly an unmanned helicopter easily and intuitively. Using flight simulator, We verify ease of operation when this system is used. (author abst.)
