Description:
The Micro-net will develop new methods to support the systematic design of mixed initiative systems (MIS) for effective collaboration between humans and autonomous systems (AS). This project will develop algorithms that optimize the performance of human-AS teams over time; AS that learn the human’s cognitive state and preferences and adapt accordingly; AS that trade off system performance with ease of understanding of behaviour; and adaptive interfaces that change based on the cognitive and affective state of the operator, which will ultimately promote specificity of trust and transparency.
Organization:
National Defence
Expected Results:
The objective of this Project is to develop new methods to support the systematic design of mixed initiative systems for effective collaboration between humans and autonomous systems from a Solution Readiness Level (SRL) 2 to SRL 4. The proposed research will focus on optimizing human-machine interactions where automation takes into account the cognitive state of the human operator, and the user interface allows both humans and the machines to communicate their state, decision, and actions in a way that is transparent and easily processed by the other party. This will ultimately lower the barrier to adoption of AS by increasing performance, reliability, flexibility and reducing the risks of catastrophic failures.
