Quantifying and Developing Countermeasures for the Effect of Fatigue-Related Stressors on Automation Use and Trust During Robotic Supervisory Control

July 9, 2018 updated by: Elizabeth B. Klerman, Brigham and Women's Hospital

Quantifying and Developing Countermeasures for the Effect of Fatigue-Related Stressors on Automation Use and Trust During Robotic Supervisory Control"

This project proposes to both develop and test adaptive automation countermeasures for the effects of stressors such as sleep deprivation (SD) on human performance related to robotic tasks, and investigate the relationship between human trust and appropriate use of these countermeasures.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Performance metrics on simulated robotic tasks - time
Time Frame: 72 hours
Over this 72 hour time frame there will be six assessments. Once on Day1, 4 times during the sleep deprivation on Days 2-3, and once on Day 4, the participant will perform computer simulations of "missions" with tasks. The time to complete tasks will be one of the metrics. The change in metrics related to length of time of awake will be assessed using longitudinal analysis methods.
