Human Centered, Variable Initiative Control of Complex Automata-Teams
Abstract
A program summary for the Cornell led team in the DARPA MICA program is presented. The solution includes a hierarchical control approach to semi-autonomous systems, research at several levels, including estimation and path planning, strategic and resource planning, and operator interface and decision making. The approach is unique in its use of formal techniques at the lower levels of the hierarchy, optimized/randomized techniques at the higher levels, each with appropriate information fusion and requirements up the hierarchy. Accomplishments are shown in the areas of Streamline Path Planning/Extensions, Cooperative reconnaissance (ISR, RoboFlag system: adoption within community for basic, semi-autonomous research, RoboFlag HitL Studies; initial modeling results, Architecture for Evolution of Pre-planned Strategies and Resource Deployment using GP, Team Tasking using tiered optimization.
