Abstract Autonomous capabilities, including Autonomous Vehicle (AV) technology, aim to
reduce human effort, extend capabilities, and enhance safety. While AVs offer societal …

Purpose This paper presents a survey of research into interactive robotic systems for the
purpose of identifying the state of the art capabilities as well as the extant gaps in this …

Objective: We examined the impact task interruptions of differing qualitative and quantitative
load have on visuospatial vigilance sensitivity. Background: The vigilance decrement and …

OCCUPATIONAL APPLICATIONS A long-standing debate has surrounded the factors that
lead to drone mishaps. The results of our study indicate that, from the perspective of drone …

Given there is no unifying theory or design guidance for workload transitions, this work
investigated how visual attention allocation patterns could inform both topics, by …

Most of the current research on autonomous landing of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)
focus on rotorcrafts, which can fly horizontally over the landing site and then land vertically …

With the increasing development of advanced unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs),
communication between operators and these intelligent systems is becoming more stressful …

Human error has been identified as the major contributor in many severe aviation mishaps,
even for accidents involving Unmanned Aircraft (UA) systems. The Department of Defense …

Objective: A central component of search and rescue missions is the visual search of
survivors. In large parts, this depends on human operators and is, therefore, subject to the …

Directing groups of unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) is a task that typically requires the full
attention of several operators. This can be prohibitive in situations where an operator must …
