Embodied Supervision: Haptic Display of Automation Command to Improve Supervisory Performance

It seems plausible then, that if the supervisor has a As the capabilities of automation advance, humans copy of u(t), the same benefits afforded the operator are promoted from the role of operator to supervisor, might also accrue for the supervisor. By placing a often being asked to monitor multiple automated agents manual control interface that moves under the action simultaneously. As supervisors, humans are expected to of another agent into the passive hand of a human detect automation faults, to intervene when recovery supervisor (who does not generate the control signal), is beyond automation capabilities, and to re-program we hypothesize that the supervisor's ability to anticipate automation objectives when necessary. Yet humans are the response y(t) will improve. We also hypothesize that notoriously ill-equipped to supervise [1]. Humans lose the supervisor will be in a better position to determine vigilance when sustained attention is required [2] and the control intent of the operator.
