Abstract
As aerospace autonomy systems become increasingly sophisticated, it has become ever more critical to ensure they can effectively interface, interact, and exchange information with humans. Rather than relying solely on open-loop interface design approaches, the Human-Centered Autonomy group at Aurora Flight Sciences is developing methods to actively infer human mental states such as workload, fatigue, and situational awareness through real-time physiological sensing. Access to this cognitive information allows human-interacting autonomous systems to maximize their impact while minimizing unsafe, unwanted, or unhelpful interference in aircraft operations.
