Jack Kolb presents his poster at IROS 2024
We investigate the real-time estimation of human situation awareness using observations from a robot team- mate with limited visibility. In human factors and human- autonomy teaming, it is recognized that individuals navigate their environments using an internal mental simulation, or mental model. The mental model informs cognitive processes including situation awareness, contextual reasoning, and task…

Richard Agbeyibor presents at the VFS Complex Systems Technical Meeting (2024)
Looking 10-20 years into the future, in the rapidly advancing world of autonomous, special ops, cargo, and Medevac aircraft, all of the basic aviation functions will likely be handled completely and competently by AI agents embedded within air vehicles. Under nominal conditions (and many basic off-nominal situations) the AI-controlled vehicle will operate autonomously and independently…

Ranjani Narayanan presents at the Mutual Theory of Mind Workshop at 2024 ACM CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems
Human collaboration with automation is premised on performance augmentation. Highly effective human teams develop and utilize a shared mental model (SMM), a mutual understanding of tasks and teammates involved in joint undertakings. This theory has been extended to human-AI teams (HATs) aimed at achieving effective performance but continues to be studied in situations where both…
