Cognitively Compatible and Collaboratively Balanced Human-Robot Teaming in Urban Military Domains
Adviser: Prof. Julie A. Adams
Creating a system of interfaces for the manipulation and control of robots within large CBRNE
and disaster rescue environments. Individual interfaces are being developed that conform to
the specific needs and requirements of first responders at various levels within the management
hierarchy. A prototype design for the remote operator, the individual who directly assigns tasks
and monitors the robots, has been created. A usability study is being developed to evaluate
the interface’s effectiveness. This project is part of a larger effort to develop the underlying
principles, methodologies, and technologies necessary to develop autonomous robot teammates
that collaborate naturally and effectively with humans as peers, and behave compatibly with
human cognitive, attentive, and communicative abilities and limitations.
