Interface Design for Unmanned Vehicle Supervision through Hybrid Cognitive Task Analysis
(HFES, 2012-10)
While there is currently significant interest in developing Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs) that can be supervised by a single operator, the majority of these systems focus on Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance
(ISR) ...
Teamwork in controlling multiple robots
(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 ...
Comparing the Performance of Expert User Heuristics and an Integer Linear Program in Aircraft Carrier Deck Operations
(IEEE Transactions, 2013-08)
Planning operations across a number of domains can be considered as resource allocation problems with timing constraints. An unexplored instance of such a problem domain is the aircraft carrier flight deck, where, in current ...
One Work Analysis, Two Domains: A Display Information Requirements Case Study
(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 ...
Investigating the Efficacy of Network Visualizations for Intelligence Tasks
(Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Intelligence and Security Informatics (ISI), 2013-06)
There is an increasing requirement for advanced analytical methodologies to help military intelligence analysts cope with the growing amount of data they are saturated with on a daily basis. Specifically, within the context ...
Using Variable-Rate Alerting to Counter Boredom in Human Supervisory Control
(HFES, 2012-10)
A low task load, long duration experiment was conducted to evaluate the impact of cyclical attention switching strategies on operator performance in supervisory domains. The impetus for such a study stems from the lack ...
A Model-Based Measure to Assess Operator Adherence to Procedure
(HFES, 2012-10)
Procedures play an important role in domains where humans interact with critical, complex systems. In such environments, the operator’s ability to correctly follow a given set of procedures can directly impact system safety. ...
Modeling the Impact of Operator Trust on Performance in Multiple Robot Control,
(AAAI, 2013-03)
We developed a system dynamics model to simulate the impact of operator trust on performance in multiple robot control. Analysis of a simulated urban search and rescue experiment showed that operators decided to manually ...
Mixed-Initiative Strategies for Real-time Scheduling of Multiple Unmanned Vehicles
(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 ...
Using Discrete Event Simulation to Model Multi-Robot Multi-Operator Teamwork
(Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, 2012-10)
With the increasing need for teams of operators in controlling multiple robots, it is important to understand how to construct the team and support team processes. While running experiments can be time consuming and ...
