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) seems more appropriate, to prevent the confusion with the phrases like adaptive control and adaptive automation in systems control terminology.
