Technology-enabled cognitive resilience: what can we learn from military operation to develop Operator 5.0 solutions?

Abstract

ABSTRACT The Operator 5.0 concept calls for the self-resilience of operators in Industry 5.0, including the cognitive aspect. Despite attempts to develop supporting technologies, achieved results are loosely connected without a comprehensive approach. Looking for novel expectations, this study seeks inspiration from a chaotic environment, where cognitive resilience is a firm standard: military operations. A systematic literature review in Scopus investigated how technology-enabled cognitive resilience is achieved in this context. Extracted details show vast technology support from field operations to control space, against the single or corporate effect of stressors from the work environment, context, content, or users themselves. These technologies generate indirect and direct influence from physical, mental, and cognitive aspects, creating a cognitive resilience effect. The concept of human-machine symbiosis is proposed, with a framework from technology development to resilience training, to inspire developers to define a broader scope, and engineers to facilitate comprehensive adaptation of Operator 5.0 solutions.
