Active Trust Management for Successful Human-Robot Teaming: Moving from a Trust Repair to a Trust Satisficing Perspective
Nicola Webb, Edmund R. Hunt
Integrating mobile robots into human teams promises significant capability improvements for tasks such as searching hazardous environments. Unlike existing teleoperated robots, fut…
Beyond Collision Avoidance: Multi-Robot Yielding and Spatial Affordance in Emergency Evacuations
Ning Zhou, Edmund R. Hunt, Nikolai W. F. Bode
As mobile service robots increasingly coexist with pedestrians, ensuring passively safe behaviour during confined emergency evacuations is critical. Existing multi-robot yielding s…
Multi-Agent Cooperative Transportation: Optimal and Efficient Task Allocation and Path Finding
Ning Zhou, Nikolai W. F. Bode, Edmund R. Hunt
Multi-robot systems are integral to modern logistics, but their capabilities are often limited to tasks executable by individual agents. This paper addresses a critical gap in exis…
Practical Handling of Dynamic Environments in Decentralised Multi-Robot Patrol
James C. Ward, Arthur Richards, Edmund R. Hunt
Persistent monitoring using robot teams is of interest in fields such as security, environmental monitoring, and disaster recovery. Performing such monitoring in a fully on-line de…
When Robots Say No: Temporal Trust Recovery Through Explanation
Nicola Webb, Zijun Huang, Sanja Milivojevic +2
Mobile robots with some degree of autonomy could deliver significant advantages in high-risk missions such as search and rescue and firefighting. Integrated into a human-robot team…
Time-Constrained Intelligent Adversaries for Automation Vulnerability Testing: A Multi-Robot Patrol Case Study
James C. Ward, Alex Bott, Connor York +1
Simulating hostile attacks of physical autonomous systems can be a useful tool to examine their robustness to attack and inform vulnerability-aware design. In this work, we examine…
Lightweight Decentralized Neural Network-Based Strategies for Multi-Robot Patrolling
James C. Ward, Ryan McConville, Edmund R. Hunt
The problem of decentralized multi-robot patrol has previously been approached primarily with hand-designed strategies for minimization of 'idlenes' over the vertices of a graph-st…
Co-Movement and Trust Development in Human-Robot Teams
Nicola Webb, Sanja Milivojevic, Mehdi Sobhani +5
For humans and robots to form an effective human-robot team (HRT) there must be sufficient trust between team members throughout a mission. We analyze data from an HRT experiment f…
Incorporating a 'ladder of trust' into dynamic Allocation of Function in Human-Autonomous Agent Collectives
Chris Baber, Patrick Waterson, Sanja Milivojevic +3
A major, ongoing social transition is the inclusion of autonomous agents into human organizations. For example, in defence and security applications, robots may be used alongside h…
Swift Trust in Mobile Ad Hoc Human-Robot Teams
Sanja Milivojevic, Mehdi Sobhani, Nicola Webb +5
Integrating robots into teams of humans is anticipated to bring significant capability improvements for tasks such as searching potentially hazardous buildings. Trust between human…
Steps Towards Satisficing Distributed Dynamic Team Trust
Edmund R. Hunt, Chris Baber, Mehdi Sobhani +5
Defining and measuring trust in dynamic, multiagent teams is important in a range of contexts, particularly in defense and security domains. Team members should be trusted to work…
