Team Design Patterns

This paper introduces the concept of team design patterns and proposes an intuitive graphical language for describing the design choices that influence how intelligent systems (e.g. artificial intelligence, robotics, etc.) collaborate with humans. We build on the notion of design patterns and characterize important dimensions within human-agent...

Workshop on longitudinal human-robot teaming

As robots that share working and living environments with humans proliferate, human-robot teamwork (HRT) is becoming more relevant every day. By necessity, these HRT dynamics develop over time, as HRT can hardly happen only in the moment. What theories, algorithms, tools, computational models and design methodologies enable effective and safe...

Explanation in human-agent teamwork

There are several applications in which humans and agents jointly perform a task. If the task involves interdependence among the team members, coordination is required to achieve good team performance. This paper discusses the role of explanation in coordination in human-agent teams. Explanations about agent behavior for humans can improve...

Explanation and coordination in human-agent teams: A study in the BW4T testbed

There are several applications in which humans and agents jointly perform a task. If the task involves interdependence among the team members, coordination is required to achieve good team performance. Coordination in human-agent teams can be improved by giving humans insight in the behavior of the agents. When humans are able to understand and...

Implementing collective obligations in human-agent teams using KAoS policies

Obligations can apply to individuals, either severally or collectively. When applied severally, each individual or member of a team is independently responsible to fulfill the obligation. When applied collectively, it is the group as a whole that becomes responsible, with individual members sharing the obligation. In this paper, we present...

Policy-based design of human-machine collaboration in manned space missions

Team design is an important issue in manned planetary exploration. This paper demonstrates the feasibility of studying team design by using a computational policy approach for requirements engineering and system implementation. © 2009 IEEE.

From tools to teammates: Joint activity in human-agent-robot teams

Coordination is an essential ingredient of joint activity in human-agent-robot teams. In this paper, we discuss some of the challenges and requirements for successful coordination, and briefly how we have used KAoS HART services framework to support coordination in a multi-team human-robot field exercise. © 2009 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.
