Mixed-Initiative Strategies for Real-time Scheduling of Multiple Unmanned Vehicles

Clare, A. S.; Macbeth, J. C,; Cummings, M. L. (American Control Conference, 2012)

Advances in autonomy have made it possible to invert the typical operator-to-unmanned vehicle ratio so that a single operator can now control multiple heterogeneous Unmanned Vehicles (UVs). Real-time scheduling and task ...
One Work Analysis, Two Domains: A Display Information Requirements Case Study

Cummings, M. L.; Tappan, J.; Mikkelsen, C. (HFES, 2012)

d observations, among other techniques. Given the time and resources required, we examine how to generalize a work domain analysis technique, namely the hybrid Cognitive Task Analysis (hCTA) method across two domains in ...
Teamwork in controlling multiple robots

Gao, F.; Cummings, M. L.; Bertuccelli, L. F. (ACM/IEEE, 2012)

Simultaneously controlling increasing numbers of robots requires multiple operators working together as a team. Helping operators allocate attention among different robots and determining how to construct the human-robot ...
