Air Force Wants Drones to Sense Other Planes’ ‘Intent’


I think the right direction to go in HCI (Human-Computer Interaction) is to design interfaces that understand people, not just interfaces that people understand. Combine that with autonomous agents, and you get the linked story at Wired.com.
"Unmanned aircraft, for all their utility, are fairly simple beasts. They’re good at taking direction, but they’re not so good at processing information on their own. Now the Air Force figures it’s time for drones to get a lot smarter, especially as they take off or land."
