Explore the principles of collaborative automation in this 45-minute conference talk. Learn how great automation enhances human capabilities rather than replacing them. Discover strategies for designing tools that function as team members, keeping users informed, making routine decisions consistently, and delegating complex choices to humans with necessary context. Examine research-based principles from human-centered design, addressing challenges in human-tool collaboration. Gain insights on eliminating "human error" and reducing user frustration. Understand how to create tools that augment human intelligence instead of obscuring knowledge. Drawing from aviation and medicine examples, learn how to implement collaborative automation principles in your own tool development process. Dive into topics such as joint activity, reliability, predictability, common ground, and smart automation. Acquire practical knowledge to enhance your team's efficiency and decision-making capabilities through thoughtfully designed collaborative tools.
