Unloved Aerial Vehicles: Gutting its UAV plan, the Air Force sets a course for irrelevance
(Armed Forces Journal, 2012-11)
This month's cover article challenges Air Force leader on the subject of unmanned aerial vehicles. Lt. Col. Lawrence Spinetta and Missy Cummings see disaster, or at least a long-term slide into irrelevance, in recent ...
Operator Objective Function Guidance for a Real-time Unmanned Vehicle Scheduling Algorithm
(AIAA Journal of Aerospace Computing, 2012-12)
Advances in autonomy have made it possible to invert the typical operator-to-unmanned-vehicle ratio so that asingle operator can now control multiple heterogeneous unmanned vehicles. Algorithms used in unmanned-vehicle ...
Past, Present And Future Implications Of Human Supervisory Control In Space Missions
(Acta Astronautica, 2008)
Achieving the United States’ Vision for future Space Exploration will necessitate far greater collaboration between humans and automated technology than previous space initiatives. However, the development of methodologies ...
The Impact of Heterogeneity on Operator Performance in Future Unmanned Vehicle Systems
(2008)
Recent studies have shown that with appropriate operator decision support
and with sufficient automation, inverting the multiple operators to
single-unmanned vehicle control paradigm is possible. These studies,
however, ...
Modeling Workload Impact in Multiple Unmanned Vehicle Supervisory Control
(IEEE Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, Part A Systems and Humans, 2010)
Discrete event simulations for futuristic unmanned vehicle (UV) systems enable a cost and time effective methodology for evaluating various autonomy and human automation design parameters. Operator mental workload is an ...
Field Testing of a Quad Rotor Smartphone Control System
(International Journal of Micro Air Vehicles, 2012)
With recent regulatory efforts to reduce restrictions placed on the operation of Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) in the United States, it is likely that in the next few years, these vehicles will become commonplace in the ...
Boredom and Distraction in Multiple Unmanned Vehicle Supervisory Control
(Interacting with Computers, 2013)
Operators currently controlling Unmanned Aerial Vehicles report significant boredom, and such systems will likely become more automated in the future. Similar problems are found in process control, commercial aviation, and ...
Predictive models of human supervisory control behavioral patterns using hidden semi-Markov models
(Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence, 2011)
Behavioral models of human operators engaged in complex,time-critical high-risk domains, such as those typical in Human Supervisory Control (HSC) settings, are of great value because of the high cost of operator failure. ...
,The Impact of Human-Automation Collaboration in Decentralized Multiple Unmanned Vehicle Control
(Proceedings of the IEEE, 2012)
For future systems that require one or a small team of operators to supervise a network of automated agents, automated planners are critical since they are faster than humans for path planning and resource allocation in ...
Assessing Operator Strategies for Real-time Replanning of Multiple Unmanned Vehicles
(Intelligent Decision Technologies, 2012)
Future unmanned vehicles systems will invert the operator-to-vehicle ratio so that one operator controls a decentralized network of heterogeneous unmanned vehicles. This study examines the impact of allowing an operator ...
