Robotics and human factors: current status and future prospects

Journal Article · · Hum. Factors; (United States)
OSTI ID:6282280
From the perspective of human factors engineering, the most important question is the division of labor between robots and humans, who participate in robot systems in nine activities: surveillance, intervention, maintenance, backup, input, output, supervision, inspection, and synergy. Additional concerns include hardware and software design of interfaces with operators, procedure development, accident prevention, and training. There have been a few human factors studies but more are needed, drawing in part on research in artificial intelligence, to support robotics for industrial productivity and military requirements. 49 references.
