Human-Machine Teaming Framework Wiki

The wiki you are currently viewing is the Human-Machine Teaming Framework, as developed by TNO using the Socio-Cognitive-Engineering (SCE, see b. SCE Guide) method, for the SYNERGISE project.

This framework contains generic and re-usable (or recurring) human-machine collaboration mechanisms which have been abstracted from the scenario, use cases, and functionalities of SYNERGISE. The human-machine teamwork is described as a set of team design patterns with different levels of abstraction, comprising mechanisms to establish meaningful human control and a responsible allocation of tasks to the human and machine agents. 
The framework has been developed based on human factor knowledge, domain knowledge from users, and iterative evaluations through the various SYNERGISE tests. 
 


SYNERGISE project

The SYNERGISE project will develop an integrated toolkit for improved safety of first responders and management of natural and man-made disasters: a Novel Integrated Toolkit for Collaborative Response and Enhanced Situational Awareness (NIT-CRES). It is funded by the Horizon Europe funding program. NIT-CRES will:

  • Boost situational awareness and sense-making by offering first responders the means to autonomously and synergistically perform indoor and outdoor exploration of incident sites towards victim detection.

  • Receive at all times information about responders’ position and vitals as well as analyses of passive and active threats and hazards at the area of operations.

  • Upgrade collaborative response and incident as well as resources management by continuously sharing and updating the common operational picture across deployed teams, among the chain of command and between participating agencies.

  • Equip the first responders at all fronts by delivering novel, affordable, accepted, and customized response tools and services as part of their operational assets.

Structure of the Wiki

The Wiki can be roughly divided into two sections: 1) general information on the project, method, concepts and members (everything under 0. SYNERGISE), and 2) the Human-Machine Teaming Framework itself, divided into Foundation, Specification, and Evaluation sections, as explained in the a. SCE Guide.
