Abstract
Human attention processes play a major role in the optimization of human-robot interaction (HRI) systems. This work describes a novel methodology to measure and predict situation awareness and from this overall performance from gaze features in real-time. The awareness about scene objects of interest is described by 3D gaze analysis using data from wearable eye tracking glasses and a precise optical tracking system. A probabilistic framework of uncertainty considers coping with measurement errors in eye and position estimation. Comprehensive experiments on HRI were conducted with typical tasks including handover in a lab based prototypical manufacturing environment. The methodology is proven to predict standard measures of situation awareness (SAGAT, SART) as well as performance in the HRI task in real-time and will open new opportunities for human factors based performance optimization in HRI applications.
