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) ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
,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 ...
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 ...
Operator Performance in Long Duration Control Operations: Switching from Low to High Task Load
(HFES, 2012-10)
Long duration, low task load environments are typical for nuclear power plant control rooms, where operators, after hours of operating under a low task load situation, may have to shift to a high task load situation. The ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
