Human-Autonomy Teaming Guidelines with a Spacesuit Example

Abstract

With the growing capability of autonomy, there is a growing interest in how humans interact with autonomous systems. This paper shows the development of a human-autonomy teaming (HAT) framework as well as general and specific HAT guidelines. Specific guidelines are made for a spacesuit assistant. Guidelines can be used to aid in the development of concepts of operation, procedures, or interfaces. The HAT framework is based on a crew resource management evaluation system, and so this work shows that a system used to evaluate human teaming can be used to provide general HAT guidelines and to develop specific HAT guidelines. Guidelines that are specific to particular projects help to make more concrete suggestions and can also inform general guidelines.
