Aims:
This project proposes to both
develop and test adaptive automation countermeasures for the effects of
stressors such as sleep deprivation (SD) on human performance related to robotic tasks, and
investigate the relationship between human trust and appropriate use of these
countermeasures.
-
Aim 1: Develop and evaluate adaptive automation countermeasures to mitigate human performance decrements caused by the stress of SD when supervising robots.
-
Aim 2: Assess measures of the operator’s trust in the adaptive automation countermeasure before and during SD, and evaluate how automation trust relates to task outcome.
The results of this research will inform the design of
human-automation-robotic systems for use in operational environments with
situational stressors, which addresses HRP Risk of Inadequate Design of Human
and Automation/Robotic Integration and HRP Risk of Performance Errors Due to
Fatigue Resulting from Sleep Loss, Circadian Desynchronization, Extended
Wakefulness, and Work Overload. Key outcomes of this project can be used to
inform design guidelines for automation that reduce the effects of stressors
like sleep deprivation on human use of semiautonomous robots.
