项目摘要

The vision of this Future of Work at the Human-Technology Frontier: Core Research planning project is to bring the benefits of a digital workspace to labor-intensive tasks in the aerospace industry. Human-agent teaming presents substantial challenges that are not present in all-human or all-digital workspaces. The research will build upon results in natural-language processing, human-robot collaboration, artiﬁcial intelligence (AI), control engineering, data analytics, statistics, and community education to establish the feasibility of an innovative human-agent teaming framework for aircraft manufacturing. The goal is a comprehensive and integrated environment in which human workers and managers, robots and AIs, will cooperatively communicate, set goals, plan tasks, make decisions, and solve problems. The project will address challenges in quality control, risk mitigation, and workforce management via support for worker teaming, data analytics, visualization, verification, and communication. In this setting, process automation, AI, and robotics will free human workers to concentrate on high-value and creative tasks. Benefits to workers and employers include lightened work intensity, improved quality of manufacturing work, and minimization of safety risks. The research results will improve the productivity and competitiveness of the aircraft manufacturing industry. By deemphasizing specific physical requirements, the project could create new job opportunities and increase employment equity, accessibility, and inclusion. The project addresses the technical and managerial barriers obstructing the integration of human workers into the future digital workspace, specifically in the context of aerospace manufacturing. The research will cultivate the theory of human-agent teaming in manufacturing by designing a holistic framework of natural-language communication, visual informatics, physical interaction and augmentation, and mutual understanding. The research will also advance knowledge by addressing the challenges in work management and analytics derived from future manufacturing work. Specifically, this project 1) examines the feasibility of a human-agent teaming framework that establishes mental and physical bindings for digital workers and human workers to collaborate efficiently and safely in the context of aerospace manufacturing; 2) bridges the knowledge gap in workforce management, quality control, and business modeling for future manufacturing industry, founded on a hybrid workforce through the implementation of integrated workforce management; and 3) conducts surveys, collects data, and holds workshops to gather information about the critical worker and managerial skills and training required by the new work paradigm.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

在人类技术领域的这一工作未来的愿景：核心研究计划项目是将数字工作空间的好处带入航空航天行业的劳动密集型任务。人类代理团队提出了全人类或全数字工作区中不存在的重大挑战。这项研究将基于自然语言处理，人类机器人协作，艺术智能（AI），控制工程，数据分析，统计和社区教育的结果，以确定飞机制造创新的人类代理团队框架的可行性。该目标是一个全面而综合的环境，在该环境中，人类工人和经理，机器人和AIS将协调，设定目标，计划任务，做出决定并解决问题。该项目将通过支持工人组合，数据分析，可视化，验证和沟通来解决质量控制，降低风险和劳动力管理方面的挑战。在这种情况下，过程自动化，AI和机器人技术将使人类工人专注于高价值和创造性的任务。对工人和员工的好处包括减轻工作强度，改善制造业质量以及安全风险的最小化。研究结果将提高飞机制造业的生产力和竞争力。通过指出特定的身体要求，该项目可以创造新的工作机会，并增加就业权益，可及性和包容性。该项目解决了阻碍人类工人融入未来数字工作空间的技术和管理障碍，特别是在航空航天制造的背景下。这项研究将通过设计自然语言交流，视觉信息，身体互动和增强和相互理解的整体框架来培养制造中的人类代理团队理论。研究还将通过解决未来制造工作的工作管理和分析方面的挑战来提高知识。具体而言，该项目1）研究了人类代理团队框架的可行性，该框架为数字工人和人工工人建立了身心绑定，以在航空航天制造的背景下有效，安全地合作； 2）弥合劳动力管理，质量控制和业务建模的知识差距；通过实施综合劳动力管理，建立在混合劳动力的基础上； 3）进行调查，收集数据并举办研讨会，以收集有关新工作Paradigm.M. M.要求的关键工人以及管理技能和培训的信息。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准通过评估来获得的支持。
