Automation aftereffects (i.e., degraded manual driving performance, delayed responses, and more aggressive avoidance maneuvers) have been found in simulator studies. In addition, longer automation duration seems to result severe aftereffects, compared shorter duration. The extent which these findings generalize real-world is currently unknown. present study investigated how affects drivers’ tak...

Research process automation–the reliable, efficient, and reproducible execution of linked sets actions on scientific instruments, computers, data stores, other resources–has emerged as an essential element modern science. We report here new services within the Globus research management platform that enable specification diverse processes reusable actions, flows, such flows in heterogeneous env...

Automation has been most widely used in public buildings but the use of these syste...

Home Automation Technologies make possible the deployment of home monitoring and control applications. These technologies rely on different networking technologies. Some of them are oriented towards some basic functionalities like switching a device on, off and dimming for lights. Others tend to provide more advanced functionalities like reading of the actual temperature from a thermometer. In ...

In this study, we experimentally investigated the effects of the interaction between two individual systems, an automation system that conducts tasks and an alert system that monitors automation performance and alerts users to automation failures. The experimental results showed that when users used automation and alert systems together, when the alert system missed automation failures, the par...

Automation does not mean humans are replaced; quite the opposite. Increasingly, humans are asked to interact with automation in complex and typically large-scale systems, including aircraft and air traffic control, nuclear power, manufacturing plants, military systems, homes, and hospitals. This is not an easy or error-free task for either the system designer or the human operator/automation su...

Manufacturing processes are being digitalized and automated using Automation Systems. But Automation Systems are complex and they contain lots of under-used equipment. The cost and time of manufacturing can be reduced if the under-used equipment on Automation Systems is used efficiently. Discovering the existing functionalities on an AS and installing new functionalities with low effort plays a...

Automation has significant impacts on the economy and the development and use of technology. In this chapter, the impacts of automation on precision, which also directly influences science, technology, and the economy, are discussed. As automation enables improved precision, precision also improves automation. Following the definition of precision and the factors affecting it, the relationship ...
