Unmanned robotic systems are set to revolutionize a number of vital human activities, including disaster response, public safety, citizen science, and agriculture, yet such systems are complex and require multiple pilots. As algorithms take over, and controls are simplified, workers benefit from directing, rather than controlling, these systems. Such simplifications could enable workers to use their hands and focus their perception in the physical world, relying on wearable interfaces (e.g., chording keyboards, gesture inputs) to manage teams of unmanned vehicles. Adaptive autonomy, in which unmanned systems alter their need for human attention in response to complexities in the environment, offers a solution in which workers can use minimal input to enact change. The present research combines wearable interfaces with adaptive autonomy to direct teams of software agents, which simulate unmanned robotic systems. The outcomes will support next-generation unmanned robotic system interfaces. The objective of this project is to develop wearable interfaces for the direction of a team of software agents that make use of adaptive autonomy and ascertain the effectiveness of interface designs to direct agents. This research develops a testbed for wearable cyber-human system designs that uses software agents as unmanned robotic system simulations and uses adaptive-autonomy algorithms to drive the agents. The research develops a framework connecting wearable interface modalities to the activities they best support. Developed systems will be validated through mixed reality environments in which participants will direct software agents while acting in the physical world. The principal hypothesis is that a set of interconnected interfaces can be developed that, through appropriate control algorithms, maximizes an operator's control span over a team of agents and optimizes the operator's physical workload, mental workload, and situation awareness.

无人驾驶机器人系统将彻底改变许多重要的人类活动，包括灾害响应、公共安全、公民科学和农业，但这些系统很复杂，需要多名飞行员。随着算法的接管和控制的简化，工人们从指导而不是控制这些系统中受益。这种简化可以使工人能够使用他们的手并将他们的感知集中在物理世界中，依赖于可穿戴接口（例如，和弦键盘、手势输入）来管理无人驾驶车辆团队。适应性自主，即无人系统根据环境的复杂性改变对人类注意力的需求，提供了一种解决方案，工人可以使用最少的输入来实施改变。本研究结合可穿戴接口与自适应自主性，直接团队的软件代理，模拟无人驾驶机器人系统。这些成果将支持下一代无人驾驶机器人系统接口。这个项目的目标是开发可穿戴接口的方向的一个团队的软件代理，利用自适应自治和确定的有效性，直接代理的接口设计。本研究开发了一个可穿戴网络人系统设计的测试平台，使用软件代理作为无人驾驶机器人系统模拟，并使用自适应自治算法来驱动代理。该研究开发了一个框架，将可穿戴接口模式与它们最支持的活动连接起来。开发的系统将通过混合现实环境进行验证，参与者将在物理世界中指导软件代理。主要的假设是，可以开发一组相互连接的接口，通过适当的控制算法，最大限度地提高了运营商的控制跨度超过一个团队的代理和优化运营商的物理工作量，心理工作量，和态势感知。
