Abstract
The SIVOR Project proposes the development of an anthropomorphic robot based flight simulator. An initial prototype was constructed to develop the motion cue, robot control algorithms and experimental tests based on human factor analysis, capable of verifying the pilot behaviour in the simulation. This work proposes an extension of the bibliographic review concerning flight simulators evaluation and validation, followed by an evolution of the first set of experiments to be applied in the SIVOR prototype simulator, composed by a simplified cockpit built on a robotic platform. The first experimental data analyses have shown some influence of the robotic motion platform in the behaviour of the pilots in comparison to a static simulation platform, to assess this results some methods of data analysis are improved. The first method was based on an adaptation of the FOQA program and defined a set of behavioural parameters to quantitatively assess the motion influence. The current method intends to filter the behavioural variables created based on the tests results and in the bibliographic review aiming to apply them to a more intense flight path based on adaptations of manoeuvres described on QTG and other regulations, considering mathematical model of an Embraer Phenom 300, besides the analysis method considers a better and more robust computation of the data. The experiment responses do not follow the same responses of the initial campaigns showing no response on the flight behaviour.
