Bruemmer, David J., Nielsen, Curtis W. and Gertman, David I. (2008): How training and experience affect the benefits of autonomy in a dirty-bomb experiment. In: Proceedings of the 3rd ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human Robot Interaction 2008. pp. 161-168. Available online

“A dirty-bomb experiment conducted at the INL is used to evaluate the effectiveness and suitability of three different modes of robot control. The experiment uses three distinct user groups to understand how participants' background and training affect the way in which they use and benefit from autonomy. The results show that the target mode, which involves automated mapping and plume tracing together with a point and click tasking tool, provides the best performance for each group. This is true for objective performance such as source detection and localization accuracy as well as subjective measures such as perceived workload, frustration and preference. The best overall performance is achieved by the Explosive Ordinance Disposal group which has experience in both robot teleoperation and dirty bomb response. The user group that benefits least from autonomy is the Nuclear Engineers that have no experience with either robot operation or dirty bomb response. The group that benefits most from autonomy is the Weapons of Mass Destruction Civil Support Team that has extensive experience related to the task, but no robot training.”

Gertman, David I. (1991): INTENT: A Method for Calculating HEP Estimates for Decision Based Errors. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 35th Annual Meeting 1991. pp. 1090-1094.

“Contemporary human reliability assessment techniques applied in the nuclear industry need to address more that simple errors of omission, errors of selection, and errors in task execution. The inadvertent selection of the wrong control from a bank of controls, skipping a step in a procedure by mistake, or the misreading of a display or indicator are representative of these classes of error. The distinction between simple errors and errors involving higher level cognitive processes has been acknowledged previously. As a next step, it is desirable to determine (1) the situations which promote the occurrence of low frequency high consequence decision based errors, (2) a classification scheme or framework for these errors, and (3) the expected failure rates for these errors once entry level conditions for their occurrence have been met. This presentation addresses 1 and 3 above, and presents a method for estimating errors associated with misunderstanding procedures, confusion regarding system response and inadequate problem solving. A function defining the relationship between composite performance shaping factors and human error probabilities is presented as well.”
