Towards a Human Factors Model for Underwater Robotics

Authors: Xian Wu, Rachel E. Stuck, Ioannis Rekleitis, Jenay M. Beer

Abstract: The goal of this study is to understand the factors between a human and semi-Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (sAUVs) from a HRI perspective. A SME interview approach was used to analyze video data of operators interacting with sAUVs. The results suggest considerations for the capabilities and limitations of the human and robot, in relation to the dynamic demands of the task and environment. We propose a preliminary human factors model to depict these components and discuss how they interact.
