  • A UAV Mission Hierarchy 
    Crandall, J. W.; Nehme, C. E.; Cummings, M. L. (MIT Humans and Automation Laboratory, 2006)
    In the following sections, each of the primary missions are decomposed into mission planning, management, and replanning segments in order to identify what the primary functions a human operator will need to perform. The ...
  • Unloved Aerial Vehicles: Gutting its UAV plan, the Air Force sets a course for irrelevance 
    Spinetta, L.; Cummings, M.L. (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 ...
  • Using Discrete Event Simulation to Model Multi-Robot Multi-Operator Teamwork 
    Gao, F.; Cummings, M. L. (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 ...
  • Using Variable-Rate Alerting to Counter Boredom in Human Supervisory Control 
    Mkrtchyan, A. A.; Macbeth, J. C.; Solovey, E. T.; Ryan, J. C.; Cummings, M. L. (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 ...
