Multi-UV tasks range from foraging, requiring little coordination among UVs, to formation following, in which UVs must function as a cohesive unit. Command complexity, the degree to which operator effort increases with the number of supervised UVs, is used to categorize human interaction with multiple UVs. For systems in which each UV requires the same form of attention (O(n)), effort increases linearly with the number of UVs. For systems in which the control of one UV is dependent upon another (O(>n)), additional UVs impose greater than linear increases due to the expense of coordination. For other systems, an operator interacts with an autonomously coordinating group, and effort is unaffected by group size (O(1)). Studies of human/multi-UV interaction can be roughly grouped into O(n) supervision, involving one-to-one control of individual UVs, or ...","PeriodicalId":90321,"journal":{"name":"Review of human factors and ergonomics","volume":"9 1","pages":"131-174"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/1557234X13506688","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65553432","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Simulators, such as molecular simulators, can provide access to large amounts of raw data, but only highly trained users can interpret the results of such systems. Haptic feedback in teleoperation, which provides force feedback to an operator, appears to be a promising solution for interaction with such systems, as it allows intuitiveness and flexibility. However, several issues arise while implementing teleoperation schemes at the micro- and nanoscale, owing to complex force fields that must be transmitted to users and scaling differences between the haptic device and the manipulated objects. Major advances in such technology have been made in recent years. In this chapter, we review the main systems in this area and highlight how some fundamental issues in teleoperation for microand nanoscale applications have been addressed. We consider three types of teleoperation, including (a) direct (manipulation of real objects), (b) virtual (use of simulators), and (c) augmented (combining real robotic systems and simulators). Remaining issues that must be addressed for further advances in teleoperation for micro- and nanoworlds are also discussed, including (a) comprehension of phenomena that dictate very small object (<500 micrometers) behavior and (b) design of intuitive 3-D manipulation systems. Design guidelines to realize an intuitive haptic feedback teleoperation system at the micro- and nanoscale level are proposed.","PeriodicalId":90321,"journal":{"name":"Review of human factors and ergonomics","volume":"9 1","pages":"57-93"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/1557234X13503293","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65553372","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Human-robot systems are being developed for a large number of domains, including in-home care, military deployments, emergency response, industrial robots, and therapeutic applications. Human performance modeling provides the opportunity to investigate multiple system prototypes and theories regarding human performance that can be further evaluated in human-in- the-loop experiments, to quickly adapt to rapidly changing robotic technology, and to represent human behavior in extreme conditions. Interacting with robots also influences human performance, and models of the human-robot system provide an avenue to investigate the impact on human performance that the human-robot teaming elicits. This chapter provides an overview of examples representing common methods for assessing human performance in human-robot systems. The topics are summarized in Table 3.2 and include a description of human performance modeling, a summary of commonly used human performance modeling tools, examples of human performance modeling with a focus on its application in human-robot systems, information regarding the validation of models, and guidelines for implementing human performance modeling techniques for robotics. IntR oduCtIon The performance of humans interacting with a system influences the effectiveness of the system. It is common knowledge that human performance varies and that a number of factors influence human performance. The vast majority of human-robot systems litera- ture over the last decade has focused on evaluating systems and measuring human perfor- mance. It is important not only to measure but also to characterize and model human performance and how it impacts overall system goals and objectives. A critical aspect of future human-robot system design is understanding how human performance can influ- ence interaction with a robot, such that the overall system is more robust in highly uncer- tain and dynamic domains. Modeling of human performance can provide important insight into how to design systems to support human-robot interaction, how to design robots and better interfaces, and how the system can adapt to human performance degra- dations. Human performance modeling has a long history in general system design but has only recently begun to receive attention in relation to human-robot systems.","PeriodicalId":90321,"journal":{"name":"Review of human factors and ergonomics","volume":"9 1","pages":"94-130"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/1557234X13501471","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65553190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, we discuss how understanding the meanings of numbers results in healthier decisions. Then, we discuss the processes that determine how communication of numerical risks can enhance (or degrade) health judgments and decisions. Specifically, we examine two different approaches to risk communication: a traditional approach and fuzzy-trace theory. Applying research on the complications of understanding and communicating risks, we then highlight how different visual representations are best suited to communicating different risk messages (i.e., their gist). In particular, we review verbal and visual messages that highlight gist representations that can better communicate health information and improve informed decision making.
