The role of human operators in supervised automation system is analysed. Human limitations in supervisory control are summarised based on the study of human model and human-machine interaction. Although it is arguably advantageous if some tasks are assigned to a human operator rather than an automation system, it is shown that the number of linked subsystems should be limited. The implications of this study are also discussed.

This papers deals with the limitations to human centered design of partly automated systems. The application domain is the process industry assuming continuous processes. It will be argued that it could be advantageous to assign some tasks, that could otherwise be assigned to an automatic system, to the human operator. But we will also show that the number of sub-systems, which have some kind of interaction to each other and that form a system, should be limited so that the not more than about 20 to 40 serious control actions per hour should be taken by the operator at all times.

For proper manual aircraft control, the pilot has to perceive the motion state of the aircraft. In this perception process both the visual and the vestibular system play an important role. To understand this perception process and its impact on pilot's control behavior a descriptive model was developed. The single channel information processor model was applied as the basic structure of the final model. Three groups of experiments were performed to refme the model structure and to defme the majority of the model parameters. The model has been evaluated by measuring the control behavior in tracking tasks.

This paper presents newly designed laparoscopic forceps and describes the evaluation of the man-machine interface performance. Careful mechanical design has led to a purely mechanical instrument with excellent intrinsic feedback capacity, thus omitting the need for an electronic feedback system. This concept has relevance for the design of all manually operated instruments and tools.

The anthropomorphic European Robotic Arm (ERA) is a large telemanipulator that will be mounted on the new International Space Station. To the human operator, the execution of ERA's inspection tasks is difficult because of the lack of spatial information in the available camera pictures, the manipulator dynamics, and the potential presence of time delays in the control loop. The humanmachine interface must assist the operator in order to avoid collisions between the manipulator and hazardous objects in its environment. The results of simulator experiments with three different configurations of ERA's human-machine interface show that automatic collision avoidance as well as a perspective distance visualisation in a graphical camera overlay are indispensable components of the interface. The automatic collision avoidance decreases the task completion time. Besides, it releases the operator from frequently correcting the commanded movements. The perspective graphical camera overlay substantially improves the operator's situational awareness. As a result, the automatic collision avoidance has to correct his control commands less often.
