Exoplanet Albedo Spectra and Colors as a Function of Planet Phase, Separation, and Metallicity
(The Astrophysical Journal, 2010-11-20)
First generation space-based optical coronagraphic telescopes will obtain images of cool gas- and ice-giant exoplanets around nearby stars. Exoplanets lying at planet-star separations larger than about 1 AU—where an exoplanet ...

Historical photos shown at 50th anniversary celebration of the MIT Man Vehicle Laboratory
The Role of Human-Automation Consensus in Multiple Unmanned Vehicle Scheduling
(The Role of Human-Automation Consensus in Multiple Unmanned Vehicle Scheduling, 2010)
Objective: This study examined the impact of increasing automation replanning rates on operator performance and workload when supervising a decentralized network of heterogeneous unmanned vehicles. Background: Futuristic ...
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 ...
Human-Automation Path Planning Optimization and Decision Support
(International Journal of Human Computer Studies, 2011)
Path planning is a problem encountered in multiple domains, including unmanned vehicle control, air traffic control, and future exploration missions to the Moon and Mars. Due to the voluminous and complex nature of the ...
Operator Choice Modeling for UAV Visual Search Tasks
(IEEE Transactions, 2012-09)
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) provide unprecedented access to imagery of possible ground targets of interest in real time. The availability of this imagery is expected to increase with envisaged future missions of one ...
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 ...
Modeling teamwork of multi-human multi-agent teams
(2013-06)
Teamwork is important when humans work together with automated agents to perform tasks requiring monitoring, coordination, and complex decision making. While human-agent teams can bring many benefits such as higher ...
