Effects of Automation on Situation Awareness in Controlling Robot Teams

摘要: Declines in situation awareness (SA) often accompany automation. Some of these effects have been characterized as out-of-the-loop, complacency, and automation bias. Increasing autonomy multi-robot control might be expected to produce similar declines operators’ SA. In this paper we review a series experiments which is introduced controlling robot teams. Automating path planning at foraging task improved both target detection localization closely tied Timing data, however, suggested small SA for location pose. Automation image acquisition, by contrast, led poorer localization. Findings are discussed alternative explanations involving shifts strategy proposed.
