A Scale MOUT Facility for Studying Human-Robot Interaction and Control

Abstract

The Human Research and Engineering Directorate (HRED) of the US Army Research Laboratory (ARL) is involved in a 5-year program to understand the implications of introducing new technology and procedures to enhance human robotic interactions (HRI) for the Objective Force Warrior (OFW) and Future Combat Systems (FCS). An important component of the HRI research is the study of the collaborative requirements for human robotic teams. The Team Performance Laboratory (TPL) at the University of Central Florida (UCF) has been contracted to conduct research whose purpose is to understand and enhance the interaction of multiple soldiers with multiple robotic systems that vary in size from small unmanned ground systems (SUGVs), to medium sized unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), to six-ton armored robot vehicles (ARVs).
