Abstract
Using a single human to supervise multiple robots helps to address manpower constraints while deriving the benefits of multiple-robot deployment such as efficiency and improved system reliability. ...
Highlights
This article explores the considerations of workload, situation awareness and automation when designing a system for single human supervision of multiple robots
The search for the right kind of automation to address workload and situation awareness is perpetual as new technology and techniques are constantly generated
Automation can be applied elegantly such that robot autonomy is adjustable for the four aspects of task execution: information acquisition, information analysis, decision selection and action implementation
Summary
This article explores the considerations of workload, situation awareness and automation when designing a system for single human supervision of multiple robots. These studies are just a few examples of the works comparing workload levels as the human supervisor is tasked to deploy various numbers of robots. In a multiple-robot deployment study,[15] participants reported a higher level of workload when the number of robots was doubled from four to eight and poorer situation awareness when supervising eight robots.
