A Testbed for Provably Correct Mixed Initiative Human-Robot Decision Making
Abstract
We propose to instrument a testbed to support multi-disciplinary research on provably correctmixed initiative human-robot decision making. In an existing ONR MURI program, our team hasdeveloped new theories and systems to answer some of the main challenges in the deployment ofunmanned aerial and ground vehicle platforms identified by the DoD as the coordinationbetween groups of unmanned vehicles and teams of human operators. Built on the past results, inthis project, we will extend our investigation in three new frontiers: 1. In human-robotcollaboration, we will study how to infer optimal system control policies when the humankinematic and dynamic models can be individualized, and their inference can be also adaptive onthe fly. 2. In small unmanned aircraft systems, we will develop multivehicle coordination andcontrol schemes to guarantee correct operation, and we will also design the interface of suchschemes with human operators in the loop. 3. We will continue enhance the capabilities ofsemiautonomous driver assistance systems in multi-mode driver assistance scenarios, inparticular for more difficult off-road terrain scenarios. The abstract is publicly releasable.
