Increasing the Adoption of Autonomous Robotic Teammates in Collaborative Manufacturing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Advancements in robotic technology are opening up the opportunity to integrate robot workers into the labor force to increase productivity and efficiency. However, removing control from human-workers for the sake of efficiency may create resistance from the human workers, preventing this technology from being successfully integrated into the workplace. We describe our ongoing work developing an autonomous robotic teammate to work alongside human workers in a collaborative manufacturing environment. Specifically, we want to understand how to maximize team efficiency and human-worker acceptance of their robotic teammates by utilizing carefully designed human-subject experiments.

In manufacturing, advanced robotic technology has opened up the possibility of integrating highly autonomous mobile robots into human teams. However, with this capability comes the issue of how to maximize both team efficiency and the desire of human team members to work with these robotic counterparts. To address this concern, we conducted a set of experiments studying the effects of shared de...
متن کاملAd Hoc Autonomous Agent Teams: Collaboration without Pre-Coordination
As autonomous agents proliferate in the real world, both in software and robotic settings, they will increasingly need to band together for cooperative activities with previously unfamiliar teammates. In such ad hoc team settings, team strategies cannot be developed a priori. Rather, an agent must be prepared to cooperate with many types of teammates: it must collaborate without pre-coordinatio...
