Title
A procedure assistant for astronauts in a functional programming architecture, with step previewing and spoken correction of dialogue moves
Abstract
We present a demonstration of a proto- type system aimed at providing support with procedural tasks for astronauts on board the International Space Station. Current functionality includes navigation within the procedure, previewing steps, requesting a list of images or a particular image, recording voice notes and spoken alarms, setting parameters such as audio volume. Dialogue capabilities include handling spoken corrections for an entire dialogue move, reestablishing context in response to a user request, responding to user barge-in, and help on demand. The current system has been partially reim- plemented for better efficiency and in re- sponse to feedback from astronauts and astronaut training personnel. Added fea- tures include visual and spoken step pre- viewing, and spoken correction of dialogue moves. The intention is to intro- duce the system into astronaut training as a prelude to flight on board the Interna- tional Space Station.
