semi-automated: adj. [US Geological Survey] A procedure that
has yet to be completely automated; it still requires a smidge of
clueful human interaction. Semi-automated programs usually come
with written-out operator instructions that are worth their weight
in gold - without them, very nasty things can happen. At USGS
semi-automated programs are often referred to as "semi-automated
weapons".
