TL;DR: Results suggest that, in terms of performance, human operators benefit most from automation of the implementation portion of the task, but only under normal operating conditions; in contrast, removal of the operator from task implementation is detrimental to performance recovery if the automated system fails.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe an effort to identify common metrics for task-oriented human-robot interaction (HRI) and discuss the need for a toolkit of HRI metrics.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors extended previous research on two approaches to human-centred automation: intermediate levels of automation (LOAs) for maintaining operator involvement in complex systems control and facilitating situation awareness; and adaptive automation (AA) for managing operator workload through dynamic control allocations between the human and machine over time.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of adaptive cruise control (ACC) and cell phone use in driving, on a direct and objective measure of situation awareness (SA) was investigated, and the competition of multiple driving and communication tasks for limited mental resources in terms of driving performance.

TL;DR: Human supervisory control and monitoring of automated systems, as well as, passive system(s) information processing can all be classified as forms of out‐of‐the‐loop (OOTL) performance, where the operator is removed from direct, real‐time control of the system.
