Event Details
The need for human in the loop automation is particularly relevant for safety critical industry where industrial accidents related to technological malfunctioning have been diminishing, leaving the human error responsible for up to 80% of the accidents. However, even if one of the main aims of introducing automation is often to improve safety by reducing or eliminating human errors, it is often argued that this may simply induce new types of errors. To take full advantage of human machine collaboration, companies must understand how humans can most effectively augment machines, how machines can enhance what humans do best, and how to redesign business processes to support the partnership.
In the present talk, some areas of application and the key challenges and opportunities they raise in terms of function allocation, dependability and overall system performance will be presented. In this sense, a collaborative intelligent creative gesture is an innovation that required a combined effort from an intelligent, robotic or autonomous agent and a human.
