Supervisory control of multiple robots in dynamic tasking environments

A military targeting environment was simulated to examine the effects of an intelligent route-planning agent RoboLeader, which could support dynamic robot re-tasking based on battlefield developments, on the performance of robotics operators. We manipulated the level of assistance (LOAs) provided by RoboLeader as well as the presence of a visualisation tool that provided feedback to the participants on their primary task (target encapsulation) performance. Results showed that the participants' primary task benefited from RoboLeader on all LOAs conditions compared to manual performance; however, visualisation had little effect. Frequent video gamers demonstrated significantly better situation awareness of the mission environment than did infrequent gamers. Those participants with higher spatial ability performed better on a secondary target detection task than did those with lower spatial ability. Finally, participants' workload assessments were significantly lower when they were assisted by RoboLeader than when they performed the target entrapment task manually. Practitioner Summary: This study demonstrated the utility of an intelligent agent for enhancing robotics operators' supervisory control performance as well as reducing their workload during a complex urban scenario involving moving targets. The results furthered the understanding of the interplay among level-of-autonomy, multitasking performance and individual differences in military tasking environments.     

Using Tabulated Information

Abstract

Different tabulation formats for currency conversion tables wore examined. It was found that most formats could be used equally well to make conversions bi-directionally, i.e. from A to B and from 13 to A. A fully redundant table, one that required no additional arithmetic operations, could be used more quickly than a schematic table, and in schematic tables it was more important to have each of the major units given directly rather than each of the minor units. A matrix, although fully redundant, was much more difficult to use than the corresponding table of lists. Many subjects clearly did not understand the principles of matrix format. Measures of incidental learning suggested that practice at using a table resulted in only slight knowledge of the content of the table, even though much of each table could be generated from a single rule     

论高校学报编辑的职责与素质

高校学报是高等院校进行学术研究成果报道的学术类期刊,是开展校内外、国内外学术交流的重要园地,编辑人员既有中介性、编选性职责,又有创作性、方向性职责,职责要求编辑人员既要具备较高的政治素质和良好的道德修养,又要有扎实的编辑业务基础、较深厚的学术素质和使用信息技术的能力。明确了职责,具备了相应素质,才能进一步提高办刊质量,更好地服务学校发展大局。

土层地基上建筑结构混合控制的减震效率

研究土 -结构相互作用对结构混合控制减震效能的影响。首先建立了土层地基上结构混合控制的运动方程 ,通过不同输入地震波、不同土层剪切波速、不同结构参数等条件下的数值分析 ,讨论了桩基础对结构混合控制减震效率的影响规律。数值结果表明 :对于土 -结构相互作用体系 ,采用混合控制的减震效率明显要强于单一的 TL D的减震效率 ;在土层较为坚硬的情况下 ,混合控制仍具有较高减震效能 ;随着土层变软 ,土 -结构相互作用减小结构地震反应的效应趋于明显 ,混合控制的减震效率明显降低 ,因此 ,对软土地基上的结构实施混合控制时 ,必须先要正确分析土 -结构体系的地震反应。
