Assessing the Impact of Auditory Peripheral Displays for UAV Operators
(MIT Humans and Automation Laboratory, 2007)
A future implementation of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operations is having a single
operator control multiple UAVs. The research presented here explores possible avenues of
enhancing audio cues of UAV interfaces ...
Audio Decision Support for Supervisory Control of Unmanned Vehicles : Literature Review
(MIT Humans and Automation Laboratory, 2006)
Purpose of this literature review:
To survey scholarly articles, books and other sources (dissertations, conference
proceedings) relevant to the use of the audio
supervisory control of unmanned vehicles.
Shadow TUAV Single Operator Consolidation : Display Assessment
(MIT Humans and Automation Laboratory, 2007)
Currently, Shadow UAV operations require two people: the Air Vehicle Operator (AVO) and the
Mission Payload Operator (MPO). A previous workload study demonstrated that it is possible to
combine these two positions such ...
Conceptual Human-System Interface Design for a Lunar Access Vehicle
(MIT Humans and Automation Laboratory, 2005)
In support of the vision for humans to establish a large scale, economically viable,
permanent human settlement on the Moon within the next 25 years (Space Frontier
Foundation, 2005), the next generation lunar landing ...
Assisting Interruption Recovery in Mission Control Operations
(MIT Humans and Automation Laboratory, 2007)
Frequent interruptions are commonplace in modern work environments. The negative
impacts of interruptions are well documented and include increased task completion and
error rates in individual task activities, as ...
An Experimental Platform for Investigating Decision and Collaboration Technologies in Time-Sensitive Mission Control Operations
(MIT Humans and Automation Laboratory, 2007)
This report describes the conceptual design and detailed architecture of an experimental platform
developed to support investigations of novel decision and collaboration technologies for
complex, time-critical mission ...
Mitigation of Human Supervisory Control Wait Times through Automation Strategies
(MIT Humans and Automation Laboratory, 2005)
The application of network centric operations principles to human supervisory control
(HSC) domains means that humans are increasingly being asked to manage multiple
simultaneous HSC processes. However, increases in the ...
Modified Cooper Harper Scales for Assessing Unmanned Vehicle Displays
(MIT Humans and Automation Laboratory, 2008)
In unmanned vehicle (UV) operations, displays are often the only information link between
operators and vehicles. It is essential these displays present information clearly and efficiently so that
operators can interact ...
A Predictive Model for Human-Unmanned Vehicle Systems : Final Report
(MIT Humans and Automation Laboratory, 2008)
Advances in automation are making it possible for a single operator to control multiple unmanned
vehicles (UVs). This capability is desirable in order to reduce the operational costs of human-UV systems
(HUVS), extend ...
The effects of manufacturing variability on turbine vane performance
(Aerospace Computational Design Laboratory, Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008-06)
Gas turbine vanes have airfoil shapes optimized to deliver specific flow conditions to turbine rotors. The limitations of the manufacturing process with regards to accuracy and precision mean that no vane will exactly match ...
