Abstract
The work is devoted to the study of UAV control systems based on myographic interface, which allows controlling the vehicle using muscle signals, providing intuitive and natural human-machine interaction, as well as to the evaluation of operator psychological factors affecting control. A general scheme of the UAV control system with feedback is presented. The authors conducted an experiment on practicing scripted UAV flights using myographic interface and classical keyboard control. During considering the relative number of errors, it was found that the number of errors for the myographic interface is higher compared to the keyboard interface, but the dependence is due to the unconventional and new way of controlling the UAV, operating in discrete mode in contrast to the keyboard interface. The inverse relationship of the expression of the visual channel of perception with the number of errors has been established regardless of the type of interface used.

Key words
Myographic interface, control system, psychological factors, unmanned aerial vehicle.
