Dr. Ashenhurst set the tone of the session by saying that the panel would discuss systems analysis in the industrial management sense, "With a view toward coordinating educational programs with management needs".

Systems analysis and design

The human factors literature on intelligent systems was reviewed in relation to the following: efficient human supervision of multiple robots, appropriate human trust in the automated systems, maintenance of human operator's situation awareness, individual differences in human-agent (H-A) interaction, and retention of human decision authority. A number of approaches-from flexible automation to autonomous agents-were reviewed, and their advantages and disadvantages were discussed. In addition, two key human performance issues (trust and situation awareness) related to H-A teaming for multirobot control and some promising user interface design solutions to address these issues were discussed. Some major individual differences factors (operator spatial ability, attentional control ability, and gaming experience) were identified that may impact H-A teaming in the context of robotics control.

Human–Agent Teaming for Multirobot Control: A Review of Human Factors Issues

Explicit versus implicit coordination mechanisms and task dependencies: One size does not fit all.

Trust plays a critical role when operating a robotic system in terms of both acceptance and usage. Considering trust is a multidimensional context dependent construct, the differences and common themes were examined to identify critical considerations within human–robot interaction (HRI). In order to examine the role of trust within HRI, a measurement tool was generated based on five attributes: team configuration, team processes, context, task, and system (Yagoda in Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, San Francisco, CA, pp. 304–308, 2010). The HRI trust scale was developed based on two studies. The first study conducts a content validity assessment of preliminary items generated, based on a review of previous research within HRI and automation, using subject matter experts (SMEs). The second study assesses the quality of each trust scale item derived from the first study. The results were then compiled to generate the HRI trust measurement tool.

You Want Me to Trust a ROBOT? The Development of a Human–Robot Interaction Trust Scale

Monitoring aspects of human performance during various activities has recently become a highly investigated research area. Many new commercial products are available now to monitor human physical activity or responses while performing activities ranging from playing sports, to driving, and even sleeping. However, monitoring cognitive performance biomarkers, such as neuropeptides, is still an emerging field due to the complicated sample collection and processing, as well as the need for a clinical lab to perform analysis. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) provide specific detection of biomolecules with high sensitivity (picomolar concentrations). Even with the advantage of high sensitivity, most ELISAs need to be performed in a laboratory setting and require around 6 h to complete. Transitioning this assay to a platform where it reduces cost, shortens assay time, and is able to be performed outside a lab is invaluable. Recently developed paper diagnostics provide an inexpensive platform on which ...

Optimization of a Paper-Based ELISA for a Human Performance Biomarker

Objective: This article provides a critical review of research pertaining to the measurement of human factors (HF) issues in current and future air traffic control (ATC). Background: Growing worldwide air traffic demands call for a radical departure from current ATC systems. Future systems will have a fundamental impact on the roles and responsibilities of ATC officers (ATCOs). Valid and reliable methods of assessing HF issues associated with these changes, such as a potential increase (or decrease) in workload, are of utmost importance for advancing theory and for designing systems, procedures, and training. Method: We outline major aviation changes and how these relate to five key HF issues in ATC. Measures are outlined, compared, and evaluated and are followed by guidelines for assessing these issues in the ATC domain. Recommendations for future research are presented. Results: A review of the literature suggests that situational awareness and workload have been widely researched and assessed using a variety of measures, but researchers have neglected the areas of trust, stress, and boredom. We make recommendations for use of particular measures and the construction of new measures. Conclusion: It is predicted that, given the changing role of ATCOs and profound future airspace requirements and configurations, issues of stress, trust, and boredom will become more significant. Researchers should develop and/or refine existing measures of all five key HF issues to assess their impact on ATCO performance. Furthermore, these issues should be considered in a holistic manner. Application: The current article provides an evaluation of research and measures used in HF research on ATC that will aid research and ATC measurement.
