Task Book: Entry
Principal Investigator: Schreckenghost, Debra

Short Title: Fatigue & Automation

Responsible HRP Element: Human Factors and Behavioral Performance

Collaborating Org(s):

National Space Biomedical Research Institute (NSBRI)

Funding Status: Completed - Task completed and produced a deliverable

Procurement Mechanism(s):

Solicited

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.

Description:
The result of this project will be guidance and technology prototypes representing effective human-automation-robotic systems in operational environments where humans and robots perform distributed, concurrent teamwork under situational stressors like sleep deprivation. These guidelines will be relevant to future human space flight missions that take astronauts deeper into space and require increased crew independence from Earth (crew autonomy).

Risk of Adverse Outcome Due to Inadequate Human Systems Integration Architecture

HSIA-701: We need to determine how human-automation-robotic systems can be optimized for effective enhancement and monitoring of crew capabilities, health, and performance, during increasingly earth-independent, future exploration missions (including in-mission and at landing).
