Hybrid Human/Robot Team Establishment using E-CARGO and Role-Based Collaboration

Abstract

This paper clarifies the requirements of a hybrid team including both humans and robots, then analyzes and confirms that the Role-Based Collaboration (RBC) methodology and the Environments - Classes, Agents, Roles, Groups, and Objects (E-CARGO) model can meet the requirement and assist in establishing such teams. Following this assessment, this paper proposes to use E-CARGO/RBC in building human/robot teams. Simulations and experiments are used to verify the proposed method.
