The variety and complexity of tasks autonomous robots can tackle is constantly increasing, yet we seldom see robots collaborating with humans. Indeed, humans are either requested for punctual help or are given the lead on the whole task. We propose a human-aware task planning approach allowing the robot to plan for a task while also considering and emulating the human decision, action, and reaction processes. Our approach, named Human-Aware Task Planner with Emulation of Human Decisions and Actions (HATP/EHDA), is based on the exploration of multiple hierarchical tasks networks albeit differently whether the agent is considered to be controllable (the robot) or uncontrollable (the human). We present the rationale of our approach along with a formalization and show its potential on an illustrative example.

“…The task modelling notation also needs to be capable of handling large amount of tasks and of connecting to system models, high-fidelity prototypes and system simulators [34] [44]. We selected the HAMSTERS notation [32] because it is capable of describing both procedural and declarative knowledge [35], of supporting the management of large amount of task models [36], and of connecting to system models [21], high-fidelity prototypes [31] and system simulators [34].…”

“…We exploit an existing notation for tasks descriptions that is used for describing both operational and declarative knowledge required in order to perform the work. Our choice went to HAMSTERS notation [32] as these knowledge concepts are explicit in HAMSTERS models [35]. This task model is then connected to the operational system in order to relate operators' actions to the tasks they are performing.…”

Training operators of complex interactive systems is a difficult task that involves multiple actors, requires specific competencies and may be extremely costly in terms of time and resources. For instance, an initial training has to be performed in order to bring operators to a desired level of declarative and procedural knowledge. A successful operator will be granted a qualification to operate the system that was used for (or targeted by) the training. However, depending on the nature and the diversity of the operations performed on a daily basis, this initial training may decay and some knowledge may become deprecated. Recurrent training needs to be organised on a regular basis in order to keep operators qualified for the work. Such training differs from initial training and requires taking into account information about how humans learn and forget, what has been performed by operators since last training and the expected required level of knowledge. Trainers need to encompass all this generic information (to all operators) and specific information (to each individual) to define both initial and recurrent training programs. One particularly cumbersome task is the gathering of what happened during operations for each operator in order to minimize recurrent training program to knowledge that might have been forgotten as it was not used in recent operations. We propose a tool-supported task-model approach fed by information of the real work of operators in order to identify complete, relevant and efficient training for operators. These contributions have been applied to the civil aviation domain demonstrating multiple induced benefits.

Use error due to user interface design defects is a major concern in many safety critical domains, for example avionics and healthcare. Early detection of latent user interface problems can be facilitated by user centered design methods that integrate formal verication technologies. This paper considers the role that formal verication technologies can play in the context of user centered design by considering three existing tools: CIRCUS, PVSio-web, and IVY. These tools have been developed to support the model based analysis of critical user interfaces. They have their foundations in existing formal verication technologies, but each of them is focused towards particular issues relating to user interface design. The paper explores the dierent phases of the user centered design process and the extent to which each of these tools supports these phases. Criteria are developed for assessing their role at each stage of the design process. The results of the evaluation provide guidance to developers to help choose the most appropriate tool based on their analysis needs while at the same time setting challenges for future developments.
