Soldier-robot teams will be an important component of future battle
spaces, creating a complex but potentially more survivable and
effective combat force. The complexity of the battlefield of the
future presents its own problems. The variety of robotic systems
and the almost infinite number of possible military missions create
a dilemma for researchers who wish to predict human-robot
interactions (HRI) performance in future environments. Human-Robot
Interactions in Future Military Operations provides an opportunity
for scientists investigating military issues related to HRI to
present their results cohesively within a single volume. The issues
range from operators interacting with small ground robots and
aerial vehicles to supervising large, near-autonomous vehicles
capable of intelligent battlefield behaviors. The ability of the
human to 'team' with intelligent unmanned systems in such
environments is the focus of the volume. As such, chapters are
written by recognized leaders within their disciplines and they
discuss their research in the context of a broad-based approach.
Therefore the book allows researchers from differing disciplines to
be brought up to date on both theoretical and methodological issues
surrounding human-robot interaction in military environments. The
overall objective of this volume is to illuminate the challenges
and potential solutions for military HRI through discussion of the
many approaches that have been utilized in order to converge on a
better understanding of this relatively complex concept. It should
be noted that many of these issues will generalize to civilian
applications as robotic technology matures. An important outcome is
the focus on developing general human-robot teaming principles and
guidelines to help both the human factors design and training
community develop a better understanding of this nascent but
revolutionary technology. Much of the research within the book is
based on the Human Research and Engineering Directorate (HRED),
U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) 5-year Army Technology
Objective (ATO) research program. The program addressed HRI and
teaming for both aerial and ground robotic assets in conjunction
with the U.S. Army Tank and Automotive Research and Development
Center (TARDEC) and the Aviation and Missile Development Center
(AMRDEC) The purpose of the program was to understand HRI issues in
order to develop and evaluate technologies to improve HRI
battlefield performance for Future Combat Systems (FCS). The work
within this volume goes beyond the research results to encapsulate
the ATO's findings and discuss them in a broader context in order
to understand both their military and civilian implications. For
this reason, scientists conducting related research have
contributed additional chapters to widen the scope of the original
research boundaries.
