  • A design framework for identifying automation opportunities

    Creator:
    Nagel, Robert Lewis, 1982-
    Abstract:
    Since the Industrial Revolution, automated systems have increasingly become a part of everyday life. Automated systems range in scale and scope from simple assists to complete robotic replacements. Inexpensive integrated circuits, sensors and microprocessors have allowed automated systems to become smaller, cheaper and more prevalent. Identifying appropriate opportunities for automation,...

  • Analyzing Human Gaze Patterns During Grasping Tasks To Advance Robotic Grasping

    Creator:
    Allani, Sai Krishna
    Abstract:
    There is a strong interest in the robotics community in learning how humans grasp and manipulate objects, partly because robots need to operate in human environments and partly because humans are currently much better in physical interaction tasks than robots. This thesis seeks to identify the human heuristics for grasping...

  • Evaluating Cultural Dimensions to Design Better User Interfaces

    Creator:
    Miller, Robert
    Abstract:
    Cultural differences between designers and users is an important aspect to consider when designing products for other countries. However, many prominent authors in the human factors engineering field have failed to specifically address how to identify and utilize cultural differences in user interface (UI) design. This research evaluated if design...

  • Modeling Task Prioritization Behaviors in a Time-Pressured Multitasking Environment

    Creator:
    Toma, Takeaki
    Abstract:
    Funk’s (1991) cockpit task management (CTM) theory is structurally consistent with cognitive multitasking models: it addresses managing multiple and concurrent tasks in three stages: situation awareness, response selection, and response execution. Based on CTM theory, Colvin, Funk and Braune (2005) hypothesized that the following six factors may affect task prioritization:...

  • About good work

    Creator:
    Lee, Wei-Tau
    Abstract:
    This research is an effort to explore the nature of good work, a concept that describes work that is beneficial to the physical, psychological, and social dimensions of its stakeholders, including and especially the worker. This effort is divided into four distinct parts. First, the construct of good work is...
