Synthetic Teammates as Team Players: Coordination of Human and Synthetic Teammates
Abstract
This project is part of a larger effort that focuses on human-automation coordination in the context of the development, integration, and validation of a computational cognitive model that acts as a full-fledged synthetic teammate on an otherwise all-human team. The team performs a small command-and-control task (i.e., team control of an Unmanned Aerial System; UAS). The research integrated the synthetic teammate model into the CERTT II (Cognitive Engineering Research on Team Tasks II) testbed in order to empirically address these research questions: 1) What is the nature of coordination and collaboration (within human or mixed human-synthetic teams) in command and control (C2) settings; 2) How well does the synthetic teammate function as part of a human-synthetic agent team; and 3) What do deficiencies in synthetic teammate interactions with human teammates reveal about human-automation coordination needs?
