SUPERMAN: A System for Supervisory Manipulation and the Study of Human/Computer Interactions

Book Description
This thesis considers the need for supervisory control of remote teleoperator vehicles in the ocean environment, and shows that computer controlled systems can increase the effectiveness of remote manipulation. A distinction is made between absolute tasks (tasks which have a known spatial relationship to the manipulator base prior to execution) and relative tasks (tasks which cannot be spatially defined prior to execution). A second distinction is made between fixed tasks (tasks which remain fixed with respect to the manipulator base during execution) and moving tasks (tasks which continuously move with respect to the manipulator base during execution). Four distinct combinations can be made from this 2x2 array: (1) fixed-absolute tasks, (2) fixed-relative tasks, (3) moving-absolute tasks, and (4) moving-relative tasks. Mathematical principles are developed to deal with each of these four possibilities.
Handbook of Human Factors and Ergonomics
Author: Gavriel SalvendyPublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1118129083
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 1754
Book Description
The fourth edition of the Handbook of Human Factors and Ergonomics has been completely revised and updated. This includes all existing third edition chapters plus new chapters written to cover new areas. These include the following subjects: Managing low-back disorder risk in the workplace Online interactivity Neuroergonomics Office ergonomics Social networking HF&E in motor vehicle transportation User requirements Human factors and ergonomics in aviation Human factors in ambient intelligent environments As with the earlier editions, the main purpose of this handbook is to serve the needs of the human factors and ergonomics researchers, practitioners, and graduate students. Each chapter has a strong theory and scientific base, but is heavily focused on real world applications. As such, a significant number of case studies, examples, figures, and tables are included to aid in the understanding and application of the material covered.
Handbook of Human-Computer Interaction
Author: M.G. HelanderPublisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 1483295133
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 1202
Book Description
This Handbook is concerned with principles of human factors engineering for design of the human-computer interface. It has both academic and practical purposes; it summarizes the research and provides recommendations for how the information can be used by designers of computer systems. The articles are written primarily for the professional from another discipline who is seeking an understanding of human-computer interaction, and secondarily as a reference book for the professional in the area, and should particularly serve the following: computer scientists, human factors engineers, designers and design engineers, cognitive scientists and experimental psychologists, systems engineers, managers and executives working with systems development. The work consists of 52 chapters by 73 authors and is organized into seven sections. In the first section, the cognitive and information-processing aspects of HCI are summarized. The following group of papers deals with design principles for software and hardware. The third section is devoted to differences in performance between different users, and computer-aided training and principles for design of effective manuals. The next part presents important applications: text editors and systems for information retrieval, as well as issues in computer-aided engineering, drawing and design, and robotics. The fifth section introduces methods for designing the user interface. The following section examines those issues in the AI field that are currently of greatest interest to designers and human factors specialists, including such problems as natural language interface and methods for knowledge acquisition. The last section includes social aspects in computer usage, the impact on work organizations and work at home.
Handbook of Systems Engineering and Management
Author: Andrew P. SagePublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0470083530
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 1502
Book Description
The trusted handbook—now in a new edition This newly revised handbook presents a multifaceted view of systems engineering from process and systems management perspectives. It begins with a comprehensive introduction to the subject and provides a brief overview of the thirty-four chapters that follow. This introductory chapter is intended to serve as a "field guide" that indicates why, when, and how to use the material that follows in the handbook. Topical coverage includes: systems engineering life cycles and management; risk management; discovering system requirements; configuration management; cost management; total quality management; reliability, maintainability, and availability; concurrent engineering; standards in systems engineering; system architectures; systems design; systems integration; systematic measurements; human supervisory control; managing organizational and individual decision-making; systems reengineering; project planning; human systems integration; information technology and knowledge management; and more. The handbook is written and edited for systems engineers in industry and government, and to serve as a university reference handbook in systems engineering and management courses. By focusing on systems engineering processes and systems management, the editors have produced a long-lasting handbook that will make a difference in the design of systems of all types that are large in scale and/or scope.
