This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Office of International Science and Engineering, under the CFDA 47.079 program, provides $127,482 to Wellesley College to support collaborative research on human-automation interaction for the future of work between US and German researchers. Over a two-year period from July 1, 2022 through August 31, 2024, the grant will fund research at Wellesley College and in Germany to design intuitive human-automation interactions that promote safety, transparency, dignity and trust. Key areas of focus include task allocation between humans and automated agents in work contexts like automated vehicles and remote work, developing appropriate levels of worker trust in automation, supporting worker attention through automation, and technologies like speech, augmented reality, virtual reality and tangible interfaces to enhance work and wellbeing. The grant also aims to promote participation in science, technology, engineering and math disciplines from underrepresented groups through supporting six student researchers per summer for two months of research in Germany.
