Human-Centered Autonomy for UAS Target Search
Hunter M. Ray, Zakariya Laouar, Zachary Sunberg +1
Current methods of deploying robots that operate in dynamic, uncertain environments, such as Uncrewed Aerial Systems in search \& rescue missions, require nearly continuous human s…
Dynamic Competency Self-Assessment for Autonomous Agents
Nicholas Conlon, Nisar R. Ahmed, Daniel Szafir
As autonomous robots are deployed in increasingly complex environments, platform degradation, environmental uncertainties, and deviations from validated operation conditions can ma…
AAAI 2022 Fall Symposium: Lessons Learned for Autonomous Assessment of Machine Abilities (LLAAMA)
Nicholas Conlon, Aastha Acharya, Nisar Ahmed
Modern civilian and military systems have created a demand for sophisticated intelligent autonomous machines capable of operating in uncertain dynamic environments. Such systems ar…
A Review of the Operational Use of UAS in Public Safety Emergency Incidents
Hunter Ray, Ryan Singer, Nisar Ahmed
The domain of public safety in the form of search \& rescue, wildland firefighting, structure firefighting, and law enforcement operations have drawn great interest in the field of…
Uncertainty Quantification for Competency Assessment of Autonomous Agents
Aastha Acharya, Rebecca Russell, Nisar R. Ahmed
For safe and reliable deployment in the real world, autonomous agents must elicit appropriate levels of trust from human users. One method to build trust is to have agents assess a…
Competency Assessment for Autonomous Agents using Deep Generative Models
Aastha Acharya, Rebecca Russell, Nisar R. Ahmed
For autonomous agents to act as trustworthy partners to human users, they must be able to reliably communicate their competency for the tasks they are asked to perform. Towards thi…
Investigating the Effects of Robot Proficiency Self-Assessment on Trust and Performance
Nicholas Conlon, Daniel Szafir, Nisar Ahmed
Human-robot teams will soon be expected to accomplish complex tasks in high-risk and uncertain environments. Here, the human may not necessarily be a robotics expert, but will need…
HARPS: An Online POMDP Framework for Human-Assisted Robotic Planning and Sensing
Luke Burks, Hunter M. Ray, Jamison McGinley +2
Autonomous robots can benefit greatly from human-provided semantic characterizations of uncertain task environments and states. However, the development of integrated strategies wh…
