TL;DR
A study of complementarities between levels of automation and human machine cooperation approaches leads to the definition of three main axes necessary to design and evaluate human-machine systems and cooperation.
Abstract
The objective of the paper is to present an approach used to define task sharing between human operator and robot, when new functions have to be defined for human operator and new autonomous functions are available for robot. A study of complementarities between levels of automation and human machine cooperation approaches is firstly proposed, and leads to the definition of three main axes necessary to design and evaluate human-machine systems and cooperation. An example of use of these definitions is then proposed to study of cooperation between a human operator and an unmanned ground vehicle with various levels of autonomy.
