Human-Automation Interaction
The extremist idea of "eliminate the human from the field" rendered the ironies of automation 1, to the extent that the researchers in the related fields shifted the paradigm to the idea of "best-fit autonomy for the computers", in order to provide more humane automation solutions.
One of the first human-machine function-allocation methods was presented by P. M. Fitts in 1951, which was used in automation systems design 2.
Adaptive Autonomy
The peripheral situations affect the performance of cybernetic systems; therefore, though one-shot human-centered automation (HCA) designs might provide better results than the systems designed based on the "automate it as possible" philosophy; however, these designs fail to maintain the advantages of the HCA designs, when the peripheral situations changes 3 , 4 .
Consequently, the automation solutions should be smart enough to adapt the level of automation (LOA) to the changes in peripheral situations. This concept is known as adaptive automation 5 or adjustable automation 6; however, the term "adaptive autonomy" (AA) 7, 8 seems more appropriate, to prevent the confusion with the phrases like adaptive control and adaptive automation in systems control terminology.
