论文摘要
我们建议开发一个集成系统，以使自动无人飞机安全地分开，并按照载人的交通方式行事。主要目标是实现安全的无人驾驶车队，以提高系统性能，让每个（机器人/人）队友在各种飞机运营中相互学习，并减少载人飞机的曼宁需求。拟议的系统使用自然语言说明对其他飞机进行预期并做出反应，并且可以作为副驾驶或完全自主运行。我们指出的是主要的技术挑战，即需要对当前最新的改进来实现视觉飞行规则，以完全自主的空中操作，从而为这些关键领域提供见解。此外，我们在原型场景中介绍了一个互动演示，其中一个AI飞行员和一个人类飞行员共享相同的终端领空，使用语言相互互动，并安全地降落在同一跑道上。我们还展示了仅视觉飞机检测系统的演示。
We propose developing an integrated system to keep autonomous unmanned aircraft safely separated and behave as expected in conjunction with manned traffic. The main goal is to achieve safe manned-unmanned vehicle teaming to improve system performance, have each (robot/human) teammate learn from each other in various aircraft operations, and reduce the manning needs of manned aircraft. The proposed system anticipates and reacts to other aircraft using natural language instructions and can serve as a co-pilot or operate entirely autonomously. We point out the main technical challenges where improvements on current state-of-the-art are needed to enable Visual Flight Rules to fully autonomous aerial operations, bringing insights to these critical areas. Furthermore, we present an interactive demonstration in a prototypical scenario with one AI pilot and one human pilot sharing the same terminal airspace, interacting with each other using language, and landing safely on the same runway. We also show a demonstration of a vision-only aircraft detection system.
