TLDR
An optimal-control model of the human operator is used to analyze a manual control task involving the control of longitudinal position of a hovering VTOL aircraft and it is shown that the model can reproduce the essential characteristics of pilots performing the VTOL task as well as system performance scores.

Intermittent control: a computational theory of human control

TL;DR: It is shown that event-driven intermittent control provides a framework to explain the behaviour of the human operator under a wider range of conditions than continuous control, and explains why the intermittent control hypothesis is consistent with the continuous control hypothesis for certain experimental conditions.

Optimized Assistive Human–Robot Interaction Using Reinforcement Learning

TL;DR: The problem of finding the optimal parameters of the prescribed robot impedance model is transformed into a linear quadratic regulator (LQR) problem which minimizes the human effort and optimizes the closed-loop behavior of the HRI system for a given task.

Human-Computer Interaction in the Control of Dynamic Systems

TL;DR: Models of human performance in avariety of tasks associated with the control of dynamic systems are reviewed, and the problem of allocating tasks between human and computer considered.

A review on bicycle dynamics and rider control

TL;DR: In this paper, a review study in dynamics and rider control of bicycles is presented, with a brief overview of the modelling of the dynamics of bicycles and the experimental validation, together with the concepts of handling and manoeuvrability and their experimental validation.

Speech motor control and stuttering: a computational model of adaptive sensory-motor processing

TL;DR: It is proposed that stutterers are deficient in the processing resources normally responsible for determining and adaptively maintaining the internal models which subserve speech production.

An optimal control model of human response part I: Theory and validation

TL;DR: The model is described in detail and is used to predict experimentally measured quantities for three simple, but basic, compensatory tracking tasks and is applied to study a complex VTOL hovering task.

The Human as an Optimal Controller and Information Processor

TL;DR: A mathematical model of the instrument-monitoring behavior of the human operator is developed, based on the assumption that the operator behaves as an optimal controller and information processor, subject to his inherent physical limitations.

A Model for Human Controller Remnant

TL;DR: A model for human controller remnant is postulated in which remnant is considered to arise from an equivalent observation noise vector whose components are linearly independent white noise processes.

Application of optimal control theory to the prediction of human performance in a complex task.

TL;DR: In this paper, a procedure for using human response theory and the analytic methods of optimal control theory to analyze a complex manual control task is developed for a hovering VTOL vehicle, which is based on the assumption that well-trained operators perform optimally subject to certain inherent limitations.

An optimal control method for predicting control characteristics and display requirements of manned-vehicle systems.

TL;DR: In this article, an analytic procedure for determining information display requirements and human control and instrument monitoring characteristics for complex multivariable vehicular control systems is developed based upon the assumption that the human controller will act in a near optimal manner.
