Quantifying and Developing Countermeasures for the Effect of Fatigue-Related Stressors on Automation Use and Trust During Robotic Supervisory Control

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.

Primary outcomes

  1. Performance metrics on simulated robotic tasks - time

    Time frame: 72 hours

    Over this 72 hour time frame there will be six assessments. Once on Day1, 4 times during the sleep deprivation on Days 2-3, and once on Day 4, the participant will perform computer simulations of "missions" with tasks. The time to complete tasks will be one of the metrics. The change in metrics related to length of time of awake will be assessed using longitudinal analysis methods.

  2. Performance metrics on simulated robotic tasks - number complete

    Time frame: 72 hours

    Over this 72 hour time frame there will be six assessments Once on Day1, 4 times during the sleep deprivation on Days 2-3, and once on Day 4, the participant will perform computer simulations of "missions" with tasks. The number of completed tasks will be one of the metrics.The change in metrics related to length of time of awake will be assessed using longitudinal analysis methods.

  3. Performance metrics on simulated robotic tasks - resources uses

    Time frame: 72 hours

    Over this 72 hour time frame there will be six assessments Once on Day1, 4 times during the sleep deprivation on Days 2-3, and once on Day 4, the participant will perform computer simulations of "missions" with tasks. The resources used will be one of the metrics.The change in metrics related to length of time of awake will be assessed using longitudinal analysis methods.
