Effectiveness of 2-D Views for 6-D Robotics Simulation Maneuvers
(Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 2003-10-01)
This study examined operator performance on 6-D robotics simulation maneuvers using a single 2-D view of the robot arm. The BORIS simulator, developed by NASA to support Generic Robotics Training, was used to present four ...
Application of a Predictive Coke Temperature Model to Heat Stress Experimentation
(Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 1980-10-01)
An interactive procedure for evaluating and maintaining an individual's core temperature at a predetermined level was developed and tested. The procedure involved the use of previously developed models for predicting core ...
Evaluation of Static Work Capabilities in a Hot Environment
(Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 1979-10-01)
The effects of heat stress on an individual's static work capabilities were investigated. Various indicators of strength and endurance were measured under differing heat stress levels. One measure which exhibited a significant ...
Tactile Stimulation of the Human Head for Information Display
(Human Factors: The Journal of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, 1994-12-01)
A series of three studies was conducted to explore the use of tactile stimulation or light tapping of the human head to inform a pilot of possible threats or other situations in the flight environment. Study I confirmed ...
A Test of Fitts' Law in a Dual-Task Paradigm
(Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 1993-10-01)
A simulated automobile driving environment was used to assess the validity of Fitts' Law under dual-task conditions. An aimed hand movement task was used as the Fitts task representative of reaching for controls on an ...
Toward the Construction of an Efficient Set of Robot Arm Operator Performance Metrics
(Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 2004-09-01)
As part of a larger project to identify and validate relevant quantitative measures of robot arm operator proficiency, fifteen metrics of arm maneuvering and hand controller performance were defined and measured for 3-DOF ...
Coefficient of Friction and Subjective Assessment of Slippery Work Surfaces
(Human Factors: The Journal of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, 1992-02-01)
Research was conducted to determine how well subjects could distinguish between surfaces with different coefficient of friction (COF) values and to evaluate how well subjective ratings of slipperiness correlated with the ...
Factor Structure of the Criterion Task Set
(Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 1987-09-01)
A large-scale experimental study was conducted involving the training and testing of 123 human subjects on the Criterion Task Set (Version 1.0). Testing was performed under baseline and stressor conditions. The performance ...
Power Window Control Location Stereotypes
(Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 1992-10-01)
A paper-and-pencil survey instrument and an operational test were used to assess stereotype strength for automobile power window controls. Control panel layout (square vs. linear) and mounting plane were examined along ...
A Human Factors Perspective on Helicopter Human External Loads
(Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 1999-09-01)
Human external loads (HEL) refer to operations where humans are transported while suspended below a helicopter. HEL operations are often required to access remote work sites, to access power lines in need of maintenance ...
