About
Rohith Prem Maben is a researcher at the forefront of human-robot interaction and autonomous systems, with a primary focus on enhancing situational awareness in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) operations. His most notable contribution is the development of a modular simulation framework for assessing operator situational awareness during Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) UAV missions—a critical challenge as drones expand into logistics, inspection, and emergency response. This work, published in 2025 and already garnering 2 citations, provides a customizable testbed for designing complex scenarios that evaluate how operators maintain awareness when they cannot visually track the vehicle. By bridging the gap between human cognitive performance and autonomous system design, Maben's research directly addresses safety and reliability concerns in increasingly autonomous aviation. His simulator enables researchers to systematically study decision-making under degraded visibility and communication constraints, offering practical tools for training and interface design. As BVLOS operations become more prevalent, Maben's framework stands as a foundational resource for developing safer, more intuitive human-UAV collaboration systems.
