Abstract
Human supervision of multiple fielded robots is a challenging task which requires a thoughtful design and implementation of both the underlying infrastructure and the human interface. It also requires a skilled human able to manage the workload and understand when to trust the autonomy, or manually intervene. We present an end-to-end system for human-robot interaction with a heterogeneous team of robots in complex, communication-limited environments. The system includes the communication infrastructure, autonomy interaction, and human interface elements. Results of the DARPA Subterranean Challenge Final Systems Competition are presented as a case study of the design and analyze the shortcomings of the system.
期刊介绍:
ACM Transactions on Human-Robot Interaction (THRI) is a prestigious Gold Open Access journal that aspires to lead the field of human-robot interaction as a top-tier, peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary publication. The journal prioritizes articles that significantly contribute to the current state of the art, enhance overall knowledge, have a broad appeal, and are accessible to a diverse audience. Submissions are expected to meet a high scholarly standard, and authors are encouraged to ensure their research is well-presented, advancing the understanding of human-robot interaction, adding cutting-edge or general insights to the field, or challenging current perspectives in this research domain.
THRI warmly invites well-crafted paper submissions from a variety of disciplines, encompassing robotics, computer science, engineering, design, and the behavioral and social sciences. The scholarly articles published in THRI may cover a range of topics such as the nature of human interactions with robots and robotic technologies, methods to enhance or enable novel forms of interaction, and the societal or organizational impacts of these interactions. The editorial team is also keen on receiving proposals for special issues that focus on specific technical challenges or that apply human-robot interaction research to further areas like social computing, consumer behavior, health, and education.
