  19. Serious game for training complex task Space Fortress • Designed under DARPA LSP (Eighties) – Research of instructional strategies, human learning of complex skills • Contains complex cognitive and perceptual- motor tasks • Learned skills are transferable to the operational task environment ITEC - 14-16 May 2019 - Stockholm - Sweden 19

  27. Leerning curves of man and Machine • Power Law of Practice Mens: ~ 20 hrs training RT Machine: ~ 800 hrs training RT ITEC - 14-16 May 2019 - Stockholm - Sweden 27

  28. Conclusions • A machine (AI model) is capable to learn a complex task • The machine has a diminished ‘sample - efficiency’ but, eventually, performs better than humans – General ‘ problem ’ with machine learning (amount of data) • Human-Machine Comparisons – Characteristic shape of the learning curves is comparable – Part Task Training : The machine exhibits similar transfer • Future work – To develop better predictors based on state-of-the-art AI algorithms ITEC - 14-16 May 2019 - Stockholm - Sweden 28

  29. Applicability for Sensor Operators • Results relevant for recruitment, selection and training of Sensor Operators • Prediction of transfer-of-training seems possible – Validation with NLR’s RPAS simulator – relevant tasks • Delay/ failure of data link • Hand-over between Ground Control Stations • Sense-and-Avoid taken ITEC - 14-16 May 2019 - Stockholm - Sweden 29
