Co-Adaptive Aiding and Automation Enhance Operator Performance

Abstract

In this work, we demonstrate performance improvements over one week with a physiologically activated adaptive aiding system in a simulated remotely piloted aircraft control task. No such improvement occurred with manual activation, leading to the conclusion that operators adapted their physiological signals to better manage the aiding, hence co-adaptation.
