1.2 | 1 | | |**TDP4 Split Role for Robot Control and Data Analysis** |
| 2 | |**Visual**|[[image:1774262232105-659.png]] | ||
| 3 | |**Description**|Separate **Pilot** (control) and **Analyst** (sensing) to reduce overload and improve detection. Every team that has a pilot for a drone or a robot also needs an analyst that can deal with the information and communicate it to the right stakeholders. | ||
| 4 | |**Intent**|Improve safety and sensor interpretation quality. | ||
| 5 | |**Context**|Tight maneuvering; many sensors and datapoints; limited bandwidth. | ||
| |
1.6 | 6 | |**Problem**|One person can’t operate a robot precisely and at the same time interpret everything while staying safe in a worksite environment. |
| |
1.2 | 7 | |**Solution**|((( |
| 8 | **Pilot:** vehicle state, collision safety, framing on request. | ||
| |
1.1 | 9 | |
| |
1.7 | 10 | **Analyst:** interpretation, communication. |
| |
1.1 | 11 | |
| |
1.2 | 12 | **Squad leader or BoO dispatcher: **communication, decision making. |
| 13 | ))) | ||
| 14 | |**Roles**|Pilot; Analyst; Team Lead | ||
| 15 | |**Taks balance (Human vs Machine)**|((( | ||
| 16 | **Human (Pilot/Analyst):** manual flight/framing; analytic judgements; confirmations; task prioritization. | ||
| |
1.1 | 17 | |
| |
1.2 | 18 | **Machine:** stabilization, obstacle warnings, SLAM/map updates, detection proposals with confidence. |
| 19 | ))) | ||
| |
1.3 | 20 | |**Advantages**|((( |
| |
1.5 | 21 | * Acceptable workload for pilot and analyst (due to splitting of tasks). |
| 22 | * Mission effectiveness improved (due to analyst dedicated to monitoring and correcting any missed or incorrect detections with better results). | ||
| 23 | * Situation awareness improved for the squad leader (due to more accurate representation of the mission site). | ||
| 24 | * Trust in situation awareness improved (due to analyst having checks findings). | ||
| 25 | * Mission efficiency improved (due to robot moving faster with dedicated operator). | ||
| |
1.3 | 26 | ))) |
| 27 | |**Disadvantages**|((( | ||
| 28 | * Requires two people. | ||
| |
1.7 | 29 | * Requires tight coordination and communication between the two roles. |
