Human mismatches and preferences for automation
conference contribution
posted on 2014-01-31, 14:53 authored by Mat R. Abdul Rani, Murray A. Sinclair, Keith CaseThe research reported in this paper is concerned with gaining a better understanding of human factors
issues in machining and the automation of manufacturing tasks. Mismatches between operators' performance
and the requirements of machining tasks were experimentally studied in respect of relationships with various
human characteristics. It is considered that increased knowledge of the rate of mismatches and an understanding
of the causes is essential for the successful design of new working environments, machines and tasks. Much of
this change to the working environment is likely to involve some degree of automation of the operators' tasks
and so a second and important aspect of the study was designed to establish the extent to which preferred levels
of automation were related to the same human characteristics.
