Developers of autonomous capabilities underestimate the need for coordination with human
team members when their automata are deployed into complex operational settings …

Researchers and developers are pursuing increasingly sophisticated roles for autonomous
systems. Whether working within networked systems as software agents or embedded in …

Abstract Purpose of Review Current real-world interaction between humans and robots is
extremely limited. We present challenges that, if addressed, will enable humans and robots …

As robots start to work alongside people, they are expected to coordinate fluently with
humans in teams. Many researchers have explored the problems involved in building more …

In the past, robots were used primarily as “tools for humans.” As robotics technology has
advanced, however, robots have increasingly become capable of assisting humans as …

As automation becomes more sophisticated, the nature of its interaction with people will
need to change in profound ways. Many approaches to designing more team-like …

Finally, we present a demonstration of our system for collaborative execution of a
hierarchical object manipulation task by a robot-human team. Our humanoid robot is able to …

The goal of this article is to introduce the reader to the rich and vibrant field of robotics.
Robotics is a field in change; the meaning of the term robot today differs substantially from …

We describe the design and evaluation of Chaski, a robot plan execution system that uses
insights from human-human teaming to make human-robot teaming more natural and fluid …

The human factors literature on intelligent systems was reviewed in relation to the following:
efficient human supervision of multiple robots, appropriate human trust in the automated …
