Human-Centric Design Integration in UAV Interfaces and Operational Procedures for Enhanced User Experience

Abstract

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have become essential tools across numerous sectors, including agriculture, disaster response, search and rescue and logistics. While UAV capabilities have rapidly evolved due to technological advancements, the integration of human-centric design principles remains a key area for further improvement. This article provides an in-depth exploration of how user-focused design considerations can enhance UAV interfaces and operational workflows. By combining user feedback, ergonomic design and advanced technological tools, the research seeks to refine UAV systems, ultimately improving both user experience and operator efficiency. The study leverages cutting-edge technologies such as sophisticated UAV control systems, ergonomic design software and human-computer interaction frameworks, alongside machine learning techniques like reinforcement learning. Preliminary results demonstrate a 95% success rate in precise landings, with an average error margin of less than 10 cm in controlled environments. These innovations have significant implications for high-stakes UAV applications, such as improving response times and operational accuracy in search and rescue missions, optimizing route planning for delivery systems and enhancing surveillance and monitoring in disaster-prone areas. By promoting a harmonious interaction between human operators and UAV platforms, this research aims to advance the effectiveness and safety of UAV missions across various fields.
