Our goal is to explore the efficacy of new social and technology paradigms to reduce residential energy insecurity for at least 180 households in three LMI neighborhoods in Detroit, Michigan, which exhibits the 9th highest energy burden in the US and where LMI...
The major goals of this project are to support coordination of a human with a lower extremity exoskeleton by examining transitions between target gait speeds, the effects of missed actuations, and the implementation of a co-adaptive exoskeleton.
This task is part of the Human Capabilities Assessments for Autonomous Missions (HCAAM) Virtual NASA Specialized Center of Research (VNSCOR) deliverable. The objective of this research is to provide recommendations for augmenting astronaut situation awareness (SA) and...
Trust plays a critical role in human-machine teaming. Poor trust calibration, i.e., a lack of correspondence between a person’s trust in a system and its actual capabilities, leads to inappropriate reliance on, or rejection of the technology. Trust also affects...
Experience with increasingly autonomous systems in aviation and other complex domains has shown that performance breakdowns tend to occur at transition points and in off-nominal conditions, rather than during routine operations. In particular, operators experience...
This project focused on exploring the feasibility and challenges associated with possible pathways from current aviation operations and ground-based transportation to urban air mobility, i.e., the on-demand airborne transportation of people and goods in congested...
