What is Adaptive Automation?

Levels of Automation (after Sheridan)

Management by Consent MBC, Management by Exception MBE The humans sets the goals The machine confirms its understanding of the pilot’s communication of intent The pilots indicate the level of control at which they wish the machines to perform and thus the role they wish to assume in the mission. The achine prompts if the pilts or the aircraft are tending toward the edge of the operating envelope The human is in command The human is involved The human is informed the human can monitor the automation more easily The automation is specifically design to monitor the huma dn the progress of the mission Both machine and human communicate intent

Supervisory control as related to direct manual control and full automation

Hierarchical nature of supervisory control

Multiloop model of supervisory control Task is observed directly by human operator’s own senses. Task is observed indirectly through artificial sensors, Computers and displays. This TIS feedback interacts with that from within HIS and is filtered or modified. Task is controlled within TIS automatic mode. Task is affected by the process of being sensed. Task affects actuators and in turn is affected Human operator directly affects task by manipulation. Human operator affects task indirectly through a controls interface, HIS/TIS computers and actuators. This control interacts with that from within TIS and is filtered or modified. Human operators gets feedback from within HIS, in editing a program, running a planning model, etc. Human operator orients him or herself relative to control or adjusts control parameters. Human operator orients him or herself relative to display or adjusts displays parameters. Fig. 9.6.11. Multiloop model of supervisory control

Summary of concepts related to automated flight-decks and pilot workload

A Paradox Associated with Perceived Animacy A paradox associated with perceived animacy. Automated systems that have high autonomy and authority but low observability appear to behave as if they are animate agents capable of activities independent of the operator. However, such systems are deterministic, and their behavior is predictable if one has complete and available knowledge of how the system works, complete recall of the past instructions given to the system, and total awareness of the situation and environmental conditions.

Human vs Robot

Stages of development of telerobotics

Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) The design of the first known robot in recorded history 1495 Helicopter powered by four men (which would not have worked since the body of the craft would have rotated) and a light hang glider which could have flown.On January 3, 1496 he unsuccessfully tested a flying machine he had constructed

John Dee (1527-1608)

Rabbi Judah Loew, The Maharal of Prague (1525-1609)

Johannes Kepler (1571-1630) Kepler's elliptical orbit for Mars

John Louis von Neumann 1903-1957 Theories of Self-reporting Automata, 1966

The impact of “the automatic age” on our moral lives. Norbert Wiener(1894-1964) The impact of “the automatic age” on our moral lives.
