Automated systems have been around for decades. However today, computer-based automated apps and devices are woven into our professional and personal daily lives to a greater extent than before. Our goal is to design human-automation interactions for the future of work, which are intuitive, and promote safety, transparency, dignity, and trust. To do this, we need both scientific and technological advancements, as well as a workforce that understands the challenges and opportunities of the future of work. Our IRES students will help develop the science and technology, and through their interactions with our German colleagues, they will be trained by thought leaders in the field of the future of work, helping us create the US workforce that will tackle the problems of the new future of work. Each summer six student participants will conduct research for two months on this topic in Germany in research labs led by thought leaders in the field. The grant will support inclusive excellence in STEM disciplines by promoting the participation of Black, Indigenous and People of Color, and in particular women.Our goal is to design human-automation interactions for the future of work, which are intuitive, and promote safety, transparency, dignity, and trust. The intellectual merit of the proposed work will be the advances in human-automation interaction in four areas. First, our work will shed light on how we should allocate tasks between human and automated agents under certain work contexts, including in automated vehicles and when working from home. Second, we will improve our understanding of how to create human-automation interaction for work-related tasks where workers develop trust at the appropriate level. Third, we will identify ways in which human-automation interaction can support worker attention in different work contexts, including automated vehicles and work from home. Fourth, we will expand our understanding of how novel technologies can support work, and importantly also wellbeing. Our technology focus areas will include speech, augmented reality and virtual reality, and tangible interfaces. While these technologies are already available, we will explore how they could be widely used in work settings to support a broad range of tasks.This project is jointly funded by the International Research Experience for Students program in the Office of International Science and Engineering (OISE) and the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR).This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

自动化系统已经存在了几十年。然而今天，基于计算机的自动化应用程序和设备比以前更广泛地融入我们的职业和个人日常生活。我们的目标是为未来的工作设计直观的人机交互，并促进安全、透明、尊严和信任。为此，我们既需要科学技术的进步，也需要一支了解未来工作挑战和机遇的员工队伍。我们的 IRES 学生将帮助发展科学和技术，通过与我们的德国同事的互动，他们将接受未来工作领域思想领袖的培训，帮助我们培养能够解决新时代问题的美国劳动力队伍。工作的未来。每年夏天，六名学生参与者将在德国该领域思想领袖领导的研究实验室中就这一主题进行为期两个月的研究。该赠款将通过促进黑人、原住民和有色人种，特别是女性的参与，支持 STEM 学科的包容性卓越。我们的目标是为未来的工作设计人机交互，既直观又促进安全、透明度、尊严和信任。 拟议工作的智力价值将体现在四个领域的人机交互方面的进步。首先，我们的工作将阐明在某些工作环境下，包括在自动驾驶车辆中和在家工作时，我们应该如何在人类和自动化代理之间分配任务。其次，我们将加深对如何为与工作相关的任务创建人机交互的理解，使员工在适当的水平上建立信任。第三，我们将确定人机交互可以在不同工作环境（包括自动驾驶汽车和在家工作）中支持工人注意力的方式。第四，我们将加深对新技术如何支持工作，尤其是福祉的理解。我们的技术重点领域将包括语音、增强现实和虚拟现实以及有形界面。虽然这些技术已经可用，但我们将探索如何将它们广泛应用于工作环境中以支持广泛的任务。该项目由国际科学与工程办公室 (OISE) 学生国际研究体验项目联合资助）和刺激竞争研究既定计划（EPSCoR）。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
