Schemas

A schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

Area of Science:

Computer Science
Engineering
Robotics
Automation and Control Systems
Telecommunications

Background:

The term 'Augmented Humanity' (AH) is increasingly used in scientific literature.
Existing research presents diverse and often undefined interpretations of AH.
A formal definition and clear application areas for AH are currently lacking.

Purpose of the Study:

To systematically map existing definitions of Augmented Humanity (AH).
To identify and review the application areas of AH.
To propose a formal definition for Augmented Humanity.

Main Methods:

Systematic mapping review of publications from 2009-2020.
Searched Scopus, IEEE, and ACM databases using terms like 'augmented human' and 'human augmentation'.
Analyzed 16,914 publications, selecting 133 for final review.

Main Results:

A significant increase in research focusing on Augmented Humanity (AH) over time.
Computer vision identified as the most frequent index term, followed by wearable computing, augmented reality, human-robot interaction, smart devices, and mixed reality.
AH applications span computer science, engineering, robotics, automation, control systems, and telecommunications.

Conclusions:

There is a clear need to formalize the definition of Augmented Humanity (AH).
Standardizing the definition will foster greater openness and clarity in research and application.
Proposed definition: 'Augmented humanity is a human-computer integration technology that proposes to improve capacity and productivity by changing or increasing the normal ranges of human function through the restoration or extension of human physical, intellectual and social capabilities'.
