Diggelen, Jurriaan van, Looije, Rosemarijn, Mioch, Tina, Neerincx, Mark and Smets, Nanja (2012): A Usage-Centered Evaluation Methodology for Unmanned Ground Vehicles. In: Proceedings of the 2012 International Conference on Advances in Computer-Human Interactions 2012. pp. 186-191.

“This paper presents a usage-centered evaluation method to assess the capabilities of a particular Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) for establishing the operational goals. The method includes a test battery consisting of basic tasks (e.g., slalom, funnel driving, object detection). Tests can be of different levels of abstraction, and be performed in a virtual or real environment. In this way, several candidate UGV's in a procurement program can be assessed, and thus compared. Also, it can give directions to research on improving human-robot interfaces. A first case study of this methodology conveyed capability differences of two alternative user interfaces for a specific UGV with their operational impact.”

Mioch, Tina, Smets, Nanja J. J. M. and Neerincx, Mark A. (2012): Predicting Performance and Situation Awareness of Robot Operators in Complex Situations by Unit Task Tests. In: Proceedings of the 2012 International Conference on Advances in Computer-Human Interactions 2012. pp. 241-246.

“Human-in-the-loop field tests of human-robot operations in high-demand situations provide serious constraints with respect to costs and control. A set of relatively simple unit tasks might be used to do part of the testing and to establish a benchmark for human-robot performance and situation awareness. For an urban search and rescue ('tunnel accident') scenario, we selected and refined the corresponding unit tasks from a first version of a test battery. First responders (fire-men) conducted these unit tasks with a state-of-the-art robot and, subsequently, had to perform the 'tunnel accident' mission in a realistic field setting with the same robot. The 'Detect objects' unit task proved to partially predict operator's performance and the operator's collision awareness in the scenario. Individual differences, particularly age, had a major effect on performance and collision awareness in both the unit tasks and scenario.”

Looije, Rosemarijn and Mioch, Tina (2011): The effect of task load on the occurrence of cognitive lockup in a high-fidelity flight simulator. In: Proceedings of the 2011 Annual European Conference on Cognitive Ergonomics 2011. pp. 19-26.

“Originality/Value -- The research makes a contribution to understanding why pilots deviate from normative behaviour and with this to make it possible to improve the safety of operations on aircrafts. Take away message -- The error production mechanism cognitive lockup might partially be explained by a high cognitive task load, produced by time pressure and a high number of tasks.”
