Human Leadership Approaches to Hybrid Human/Robot Teams

Abstract

In this paper we examine work mapping human leadership styles to human control of robots. This work is extended to the context of a human leader with a team of robots in navigation and exploration scenarios. Particular leadership styles are selected as being appropriate for this category of scenario and specific implementations are detailed. We conclude by discussing a set of experimental results confirming the expected leadership traits and propose future extensions to validate the scalability of this approach. Show more
