The project addresses the critical need...
The National Science Foundation Division of Computing and Communication Foundations awarded Clemson University $600,000 under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) on October 1, 2026. The project develops computational methods for AI systems to coordinate with humans in safety-critical shared-autonomy environments where humans must interpret AI recommendations and take action within seconds. The work addresses the mismatch between current AI systems, which assume humans are always ready to respond, and research showing that human readiness varies with attention, workload, stress, situational awareness, and trust. The project comprises three thrusts: developing computational models that estimate human readiness from behavioral and physiological measurements including response time, eye gaze, heart rate, and simulator interaction data; developing decision-time interaction methods using alerts, prompts, and low-burden cognitive probes to reduce uncertainty about readiness while limiting cognitive burden; and developing deployment strategies for applying these principles across transportation, assistive robotics, healthcare, and other safety-critical applications. Performance occurs at Clemson University in Clemson, South Carolina. The award runs through September 30, 2029.
