In this chapter, we present a passivity-based approach to a human–swarm collaboration
problem. In the system, the operator is assumed to have a device to command a limited …

This paper investigates bilateral human-swarm-interactions wherein the objective is to
guarantee human operator enabled synchronization of positions/velocities of an ensemble …

The interaction of a single human with a team of cooperative robots, which collaboratively
manipulate an object, poses a great challenge by means of the numerous possibilities of …

One reason why multirobot systems are preferred, in some contexts, over their single-robot
counterparts is that they admit a larger spatial footprint. With multiple robots, it is possible to …

Human–robot collaboration is a multidisciplinary research field that was established as an
independent research field in the mid‐1990s, although several pioneering works predate …

This paper analyzes perceived workload and passivity-shortage of human operators for a
class of semi-autonomous robotic swarms. First, we briefly introduce the passivity-short …

Human-swarm interaction is facilitated by a low-dimensional encoding of the swarm
formation, independent of the (possibly large) number of robots. We propose using image …

Multi-robot teleoperation systems benefit from human's capabilities in adaptation to new
environments and decision-making in the presence of uncertainty and complexity. In these …

In this paper, we propose a cooperative control law of human-robotic networks in the
presence of inter-robot communication delays. The objective is to guarantee human enabled …

This article presents a novel semiautonomous cooperative robotic system. Information flows
in the architecture are designed based on the passivity property. The human passivity …
