Objective In future deep space exploration missions, crew will have to work more autonomously from Earth. Greater crew autonomy will increase dependence on automated systems. This study investigates the performance effects of different strategies to automate procedural work for space exploration operations. Background The following strategies are investigated for performing procedural work: • Manual Work uses no procedure automation and crew performs all actions. • Shared Work uses procedure automation to perform some actions within a procedure while crew performs other actions. • Supervised Work uses procedure automation to perform procedure actions while crew supervises the automation. Method Twenty-seven participants participated in a planetary habitat scenario-based simulation using electronic procedures with automatable actions to investigate the effect of these strategies on situation awareness (SA) and workload. This study used a modification of the Situation Presence Assessment Method to measure SA and the Bedford Workload Scale to measure subjective workload. Results Mean response times and accuracy for SA queries show no significant difference among the three strategies. Bedford Workload ratings compared across the three strategies indicate that participants rated their workload as highest in the Manual Work condition, followed by the Shared Work condition, and lowest in the Supervised Work condition. Conclusion The study hypothesized that increased levels of automation would lead to lower subjective workload and decreased SA. Although no significant difference in SA was observed, subjective workload was lower in automation strategies. Based on subjective ratings, 93% of participants preferred some form of automation, with 56% preferring the Shared Work automation condition.

“…Few works propose ontologies for procedure documentation in an industrial setting. In 2008, NASA developed the Procedure Representation Language (PRL), an XML schema to be used in training and spaceflight operations (Kortenkamp et al, 2008). PRL was created to support adjustable autonomy for procedure execution where some parts can be completed by humans and other parts by computers.…”

“…However, the rigid relationships between concepts, such as "Station workstationHasResource Resource", means it has limited applicability to our work (as maintenance technicians rarely have a work station). In Section 7, we perform a further concept-level comparison between OMPD, and the ontologies described in Kortenkamp et al (2008), Németh et al (2010) and Koukias and Kiritsis (2015).…”

An ontology for maintenance procedure documentation

In mining, manufacturing and industrial process industries, maintenance procedures are used as an aid to guide technicians through complex manual tasks. These procedures are not machine-readable, and cannot support reasoning in digitally integrated manufacturing systems. Procedure documents contain unstructured text and are stored in a variety of formats. The aim of this work is to query information held in real industrial maintenance procedures. To achieve this, we develop an ontology for maintenance procedures using the OWL 2 description language. We leverage classes and object properties from the ISO 15926 Part 14 Upper Ontology and create a domain ontology. The key contribution of this paper is a demonstration of trade-offs required when modelling an existing engineering artifact, where an abstraction of its contents is given a-priori. We provide an ontologically rigorous abstraction of notions captured in procedure documentation to a set of classes, relations and axioms that allow reasoning over the contents. Validation of the ontology is performed via a series of competency questions based on queries relevant to technicians, engineers and schedulers in industry. The ontology is applied to real world maintenance procedures from two industrial organisations.

“…This highly circumscribed form of natural language arose from the fact that these procedures were to interleave human actions on the ground and machine actions in space. This is in stark contrast to other procedures (such as International Space Station [ISS] procedures) that might leave much to the interpretation of the reader and require training to be able to understand and perform, although currently efforts are under way to make ISS procedures more formally structured (Kortenkamp, Bonasso, and Schreckenghost 2008).…”
