HRTeam: a framework to support research on human/multi-robot interaction

Abstract

The HRTeam framework supports research on discovering and evaluating methods for addressing a range of issues in human/multi-robot team interaction. Three sample tasks illustrate the methods currently being investigated: mission selection, dictated by a human operator; collision avoidance, taught by a human trainer; and targeted exploration, jointly achieved with a human collaborator. Physical and simulated multi-robot environments are used to support this research.
