Cognitive Implications of HMIs for Tele-operation and Supervisory Control of Robotic Ground Vehicles

Published: 01 March 2018 Publication History

Abstract

With the anticipated increase of robotic ground vehicles in military operations, it is important to develop human machine interfaces (HMIs) to control vehicles that accommodate the cognitive capacities of military personnel and support effective utilization. In an initial investigation of cognitive implications of robotic ground vehicle use, we measured trust, workload, and performance to quantify the impact of transitions between modes of operation (supervisory control and tele-operation) on human performance. Trust increased after scenario completion and reported workload was low-moderate. Performing a transition impacted cognitive performance. Detection of targets was higher when targets were placed 'on path'. The results suggest that there are cognitive implications for HMIs and that icon placement at locations where people look naturally during a task might improve performance.
