Trusted Distributed Human-Machine Teaming for Safe and Effective Space-based Missions
Abstract
A challenge of space-based missions is effective teaming in a geographically and temporally (i.e., spatio-temporal) distributed environment. The geographic distribution of teammates coupled with the variable communication latency challenges effective teamwork. This challenge is exacerbated by the team complexity in a heterogeneous multiteam system composed of humans, robots, and Artificial Intelligent (AI) agents. The long-term objective of this research is to develop an AI agent that monitors distributed human machine teams (HMTs) in space-based missions to identify potential team states (e.g., fatigued, conflict, trust) and intervene when needed to improve teamwork and team effectiveness. In this proposed initial effort, our goal is to demonstrate initial capability for AI monitoring and assessment for effective space HMTs.
