Ph.D. Thesis: Information Abstraction Visualization for Human-Robot Interaction

By Curtis M. Humphrey | Published: June 5, 2009

Future emergency incident responses, including Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive (CBRNE), will incorporate robots. The ability to interact with robots and understand the resulting volumes of information requires a system of human-robot interfaces employing directable visualizations that provide information immediacy, relevancy, and sharing appropriate for each human’s responsibilities.
This dissertation conducted two modified Cognitive Tasks [...]

Designing a System of User Interfaces for Controlling Robots for Emergency Incident Response

By Curtis M. Humphrey | Published: June 5, 2009

The emergency response incidents (e.g., Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive (CBRNE) incidents or weapons of mass destruction) are evolving from a response involving humans (e.g. first responders, government officials, civilians) with equipment (e.g. protective suits, vehicles, sensors) to a response system combining humans and thinking machines (e.g. robots, information technology). The difference between equipment (e.g. fire engines, [...]

Multiple Robot Interfaces Scalability and the Halo Concept

By Curtis M. Humphrey | Published: June 5, 2009

As multiple robot systems become more common, it is necessary to develop scalable human-robot interfaces that permit the inclusion of additional robots without reducing the overall system performance. This project focused on the development of a scalable interface for a single human-to-multiple robot system with the intention to promote situation awareness and the management of [...]

Compass Visualizations for Human-Robotic Interaction

By Curtis M. Humphrey | Published: June 5, 2009

This project compared two representative compass visualizations: top-down and in-world world-aligned to ascertain which one provided better metric judgment accuracy, lowers workload, provides better situational awareness, is perceived as easier to use, and is preferred. The evaluation results are in agreement with existing results regarding the effects of 2D and 3D views on the operators’ [...]

Emergency Response System Human-Robot Interaction User Levels

By Curtis M. Humphrey | Published: June 5, 2009

This project formulated how the large numbers of individuals that can be involved in an emergency response event can be encapsulated into ten different Emergency Response System Human-Robot Interaction User Levels that represent the various manners in which responders will interact with future robotic systems. The ten user levels were informed by existing HRI roles, [...]
