Dear Patrick,

We have developed Cognitive Human-Machine Systems (CHMS) for advanced aerospace and defence applications, including Avionics/Mission Systems, Air Traffic Management and One-to-Many UAS operations.

Our systems implement adaptive Human-Machine Interfaces and Interactions (HMI2) relying on real-time measurement of neuro-physiological parameters (EEG/fNIR, eye tracking, hart rate, respiration, perspiration, voice patterns and facial expression), processed by a neuro-fuzzy inference engine. This approach drives adaptation in CHMS both in terms of HMI2 and automation levels, creating a pathway to trusted autonomous operations.

Various research projects have been undertaken by my research group (over the past 5 years) in collaboration with Thales Australia, Norrhrop Grumman US and the Australian DoD (Defence Science and Stechnology Group). You may wish to check my RG repository to download our publications.

Please let me know if you require any additional information.

Kind regards,

Rob

Dear Rob,

thank you for your detailed answer. That is very interesting. I'll have a look at those publications.

Kind regards,

Patrick

Its not a "real world" system but the DrInventor.eu project offers a text mapping service based heavily of Gentner's "Structure Mapping Theory" (1983) of metaphor & analogy. Here is an example of its output, including the text of the two stories.

(not perfect, but promising).

I see an example of Cognitive science in modeling human-kind robots. in this robot, eye motion is modeled very similarly to human eyes. for example when the robot head is turned right the eye turn left. I think the emotions have been modeled because when he was upset his eye was full of the tear (state the upset emotion).

In our Laboratory, we currently work on a flight eye tracking assistant (FETA) based on gaze behavior of expert pilots to provides feedback on his eye activity. We built a visual database of these expert behaviors that our assistant can consult on line. This give the opportunity to a pilot to guide his eye activity toward flight instrument during landing to avoid poor monitoring of flight parameters which is one of the most common causes investigates during flight accidents.
