The use of semi-autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs or drones) to support emergency response scenarios, such as fire surveillance and search-and-rescue, has the potential for huge societal benefits. Onboard sensors and artificial intelligence (AI) allow these UAVs to operate autonomously in the environment. However, human intelligence and domain expertise are crucial in planning and guiding UAVs to accomplish the mission. Therefore, humans and multiple UAVs need to collaborate as a team…

Explaining Autonomous Decisions in Swarms of Human-on-the-Loop Small Unmanned Aerial Systems
TLDR
This paper examines the User Interface (UI) design trade-offs associated with providing timely and detailed explanations of autonomous behavior for swarms of small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS) or drones and analyses the impact of UI design choices on awareness of the situation.
Adaptive Autonomy in Human-on-the-Loop Vision-Based Robotics Systems
TLDR
A solution based upon adaptive autonomy levels is proposed, whereby the system detects loss of reliability of these models and responds by temporarily lowering its own autonomy levels and increasing engagement of the human in the decision-making process.
RescueAR: Augmented Reality Supported Collaboration for UAV Driven Emergency Response Systems
TLDR
RescueAR utilizes location-based augmented reality technology to facilitate the exchange of information among rescue team members during a UAV-driven emergency response to identify injured victim locations using AR glasses or mobile devices.
Extending MAPE-K to support Human-Machine Teaming
TLDR
This paper identifies critical human-machine teaming factors and describes the infrastructure needed across the various phases of the MAPE-K loop in order to effectively support HMT, the Human Machine Teaming paradigm, and presents guidelines for integrating HMT into MAPe-K.
Towards a Model-Integrated Runtime Monitoring Infrastructure for Cyber-Physical Systems
TLDR
A novel framework for model-integrated runtime monitoring is proposed that combines model-driven techniques and runtime monitoring to automatically generate large parts of the monitoring framework and to reduce the maintenance effort necessary when part of the monitored system change.
Hazard analysis for human-on-the-loop interactions in sUAS systems
TLDR
The study showed that the hazard trees provided effective coverage for a wide variety of sUAS application scenarios and were useful for stimulating safety thinking and helping users to identify and potentially mitigate human-interaction hazards.
