Ergonomics of human-system interaction - Part 810: Robotic, intelligent and autonomous systems (ISO/TR 9241-810:2020)
This document addresses:
— physically embodied RIA systems, such as robots and autonomous vehicles with which users will physically interact;
— systems embedded within the physical environment with which users do not consciously interact, but which collect data and/or modify the environment within which people live or work such as smart building and, mood-detection;
— intelligent software tools and agents with which users actively interact through some form of user interface;
— intelligent software agents which act without active user input to modify or tailor the systems to the user's behaviour, task or some other purpose, including providing context specific content/information, tailoring adverts to a user based on information about them, user interfaces that adapt to the cognitive or physiological state, "ambient intelligence";
— the effect on users resulting from the combined interaction of several RIA systems such as conflicting behaviours between the RIA systems under the same circumstances;
— the complex system-of-systems and sociotechnical impacts of the use of RIA systems, particularly on society and government.
This document is not an exploration of the philosophical, ethical or political issues surrounding robotics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and intelligent machines or environments. For matters of ethics and political issues, see standards such as BS 8611 and IEC P7000. However, this document does identify where and why ethical issues need to be taken into account for a wide range of systems and contexts, and as such it provides information relevant to the broader debate regarding RIA systems.
This document has a broader focus than much of the early work on autonomy that relates to the automation of control tasks and mechanization of repetitive physical or cognitive tasks, and centres on levels of automation.
Although this document addresses a wide range of technology applications, and sector and stakeholder views on the issues, the treatment of each can be incomplete due to the diverse and increasingly varied applications of RIA systems.

Ta dokument obravnava:
– robotske, inteligentne in avtonomne (RIA) sisteme v fizični obliki, kot so na primer roboti in avtonomna vozila, s katerimi uporabniki fizično komunicirajo;
– sisteme, vgrajene v fizično okolje, s katerimi uporabniki ne komunicirajo zavestno, temveč ki zbirajo podatke in/ali spreminjajo okolje, v katerem ljudje bivajo ali delajo, kot so sistemi pametnih stavb in zaznavanja razpoloženja;
– pametna programska orodja in posrednike, s katerimi uporabniki aktivno komunicirajo prek uporabniškega vmesnika v takšni ali drugačni obliki;
– inteligentne programske posrednike, ki delujejo brez aktivnega posredovanja uporabnika in pri tem sisteme spreminjajo ali prilagajajo uporabnikovem vedenju, opravilu ali drugemu namenu, vključno z zagotavljanjem okoliščinam prilagojene vsebine/informacij, prilagajanjem oglasov uporabniku na podlagi informacij o uporabniku, uporabniškimi vmesniki, ki se prilagodijo kognitivnemu ali fiziološkemu stanju, ter »ambientalno inteligenco«;
– učinek na uporabnike, ki je posledica združene interakcije med različnimi robotskimi, inteligentnimi in avtonomnimi sistemi, kot je na primer neskladno delovanje robotskih, inteligentnih in avtonomnih sistemov v enakih razmerah;
– zapletene vplive uporabe robotskih, inteligentnih in avtonomnih sistemov na sistem sistemov, družbo in tehniko, zlasti vplive na družbo in vlado.
Ta dokument ne preučuje filozofskih, etičnih ali političnih vprašanj v zvezi z robotiko, umetno inteligenco, strojnim učenjem ter inteligentnimi stroji ali okolji. Vsebine o etičnih in političnih vprašanjih so na primer na voljo v standardih BS 8611 in IEC P7000. Kljub temu pa ta dokument za širok nabor sistemov in okoliščin določa, kdaj in zakaj je treba upoštevati etična vprašanja, in kot tak podaja informacije, pomembne za širšo razpravo o robotskih, inteligentnih in avtonomnih sistemih.
Ta dokument se uporablja za širše področje kot večina prejšnjih dokumentov o avtonomiji, ki se navezujejo na avtomatizacijo krmilnih opravil in mehanizacijo ponavljajočih se fizičnih ali kognitivnih opravil, ter se osredotoča na ravni avtomatizacije.
Čeprav je v tem dokumentu obravnavan širok spekter tehnoloških aplikacij ter stališč panoge in interesnih skupin v zvezi s temi vprašanji, pa posamezna vprašanja morda niso v celoti razdelana zaradi raznolikosti in vse večjih razlik v področjih uporabe robotskih, inteligentnih ter avtonomnih sistemov.

Introduction
Product development of systems with robot, intelligent and autonomous characteristics is rapidly
progressing. Given the human-system issues of such systems, timely guidance covering these issues
is necessary to help all sectors of industry to design, field and operate first-time quality robotic,
intelligent, autonomous (RIA) systems, and build appropriate trust in products and services that use
these systems.
There is an urgent need for a Technical Report from ISO explaining the existing, emerging and potential
human-system issues and consequences for use and users associated with systems that have robot,
intelligent and autonomous characteristics. This document explains the existing, emerging and
potential human-system issues and consequences for use and users associated with systems that have
RIA characteristics. It identifies the potential risks and priorities for standardization to address these
issues. Solutions will be the subject of future standards.
This document reviews the ergonomics for a range of RIA systems. It describes the human-system
issues that should be considered in the application of these technologies and identification of priorities
for future standardization work. The purpose of this study is to identify and explore the ramifications
of a categories of issues involving RIA systems that suggest a need to reset the boundaries of what is
called ergonomics. The conclusion is that to make an ergonomic RIA system, the practice of ergonomics
will need to do more, working together with new disciplines, and can require new tools, methods and
approaches to support the design and integration of these types of systems into working environments
and organizations. Ergonomics will also need to identify relevant research from a wide variety of
scientific disciplines, as well as conducting our own research to ensure we have a robust evidence base
to guide the development of these systems.
The paradigm behind human-systems interaction standards so far has been that of tool use. The
ISO 9241 series is for interactive tools and the physical environment within which they are used.
RIA systems necessitate a new paradigm. Agents developed using these technologies will be more
connected, complex, probabilistic and non-deterministic, social, and augment human capabilities
well beyond merely replacing physical work. Interaction with these agents can become a relationship,
their interface a personality, and users and agents can form complex human-machine teams, working
together towards a shared goal.
The evolution of RIA systems will significantly alter the nature of tasks users perform. The design of
work will likewise be altered. Applications of RIA systems represent a significantly more complete
and impactful replacement of human activity than has been seen with any other form of technological
labour-saving device. For example, when working with another person on a common task, how do you
diagnose a failure state in your interactions? How are you to interpret the off-nominal behaviour of a
team member? How are you to interpret and predict the behaviour of other people who are operating
within the same environment as you are but are otherwise not directly coordinating activity? What
is the safe state you can fall back on in the event of a failure in your interaction with another person?
Now, replace that person or team member with an RIA system. The changes in the nature of tasks and
the design of work to accommodate the complex, social human-machine interaction of an RIA system is
fundamental for ergonomics, but will require that the ergonomics community adapt its best practices
and expand into areas of psychology and sociology that few ergonomists deal with on a regular basis.
The focus of this document is breadth not depth, and issues not answers. The emphasis is on describing
general issues and the consequences of not addressing them, even though not all will/can be relevant to
all types or applications of RIA systems covered by this document. But be sure that this is the case for
your application, and that you take account of the categories of issue and context that do apply.

5 Report contents and structure
The target audience for this document is decision-makers, designers and engineers who would benefit
from the consideration of human-systems issues of RIA systems. Futurists, researchers, technology
developers, regulators and legislators can also find this document useful.
The target audience for this document is the standards development community and ergonomists
involved in developing, acquiring and/or commissioning RIA systems.
This document is based on an analysis that projects forwards from current applications of technology
to more connected, complex, probabilistic and non-deterministic, social systems/entities/agents, and
human augmentation. Social in this context also includes physical interaction. Applications considered
include robots, intelligent systems and environments such as smart buildings that control or otherwise
influence an environment, and autonomous agents/systems. The analysis considers views and concerns
of: RIA system users and stakeholders from various industry sectors regarding the impact on future
job roles, human tasks and organizational structures, safety, system trust, rights and culture. The

limits for ergonomics are considered together with an initial identification of potential areas of change.
A broad range of published sources and expertise was drawn on during the creation of this document. It
includes the futurology literature, regulatory work, input from astute observers and reports of current
and planned products. Extensive discussion and analysis by the project team is also included.
— Clause 6 discusses relevant concepts in AI and ergonomics.
— Clause 7 describes the groups of identified issues.
— Clause 8 describes the hazards and possible harm that can result if Ergonomics is not applied.
— Clause 9 describing how various existing ergonomics standards address the issues.
— Clause 10 describes the changes in ergonomics standards required to better address RIA systems
technology.
Annexes A to E are written for:
— the ergonomics community — to give their input to RIA system projects/discussions face validity,
provide food for thought regarding how ergonomics can be applied/should evolve/needs to be
supported, gives a framework for issues to raise if involved with such projects;
— those developing, acquiring, commissioning or approving RIA systems — providing a set of
considerations and potential issues to think about for those in any executive, project, design or legal
and regulatory role;
— developers and users of standards who need to understand how the ergonomics aspects of RIA
systems affect their activities — alerting those who have not so far included human or ergonomic
requirements in relation to RIA systems in their domains to new or emergent human-system issues
or needs.
Annex A elaborates the human-system issues within each category. Annex B presents examples of RIA
systems, illustrating the issues, hazards, and ergonomics considerations. Annex C provides a two-stage
review of the areas in which ergonomics needs to develop to address these issues. Annex D contains
a more detailed description of the analysis and notes on the necessary extensions to ergonomics and
standards. Annex E describes the analysis on which this document is based.
6 Concepts
6.1 General
There are many technologies used to implement RIA systems, various combinations of which are
employed across a huge range of applications with which humans will interact. This has led to a general
lack of agreement and precision in definitions and terminology, including those within standards
where RIA system technologies and applications are defined in various ways according to specific
requirements of the given context. As it is not possible to fully predict the different ways in which
such technologies will be developed and applied in the future, this document does not refer to existing
definitions from other standards. Instead, this document uses generic and commonly used terms
because, although these can still invoke different individual interpretations and opinions, they are
more generally and widely understood.
This document uses the most common generic terms in the title (robotic, intelligent, autonomous) with
the understanding that they can trigger a range of associations and differences of opinion. These are not
conceptually independent. Furthermore, this document focusses on their use by humans as collective
descriptions for characteristics of types of intelligent agent. These agents are often qualified as to type
or context of use (for example, autonomous car, intelligent building, care robot).

6.2 IT concepts
6.2.1 Intelligent agent
An intelligent agent is an entity which observes through sensors and acts on an environment using
actuators. It directs its activity towards achieving goals. Intelligent agents can learn or use knowledge
to achieve these goals. They can be very simple or very complex.
Intelligent agents are often software entities that carry out some set of operations on behalf of a user
or another program with som
