Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) personnel are some of the most
highly trained people in the military, with a job description that
spans defusing unexploded ordnance to protecting VIP's and state
dignitaries. EOD are also one of the first military groups to work
with robots every day. These robots have become an increasingly
important tool in EOD work, enabling people to work at safer
distances in many dangerous situations. Based on exploratory
research investigating interactions between EOD personnel and the
robots they use, this study richly describes the nuances of these
reciprocal influences, especially those related to operator emotion
associated with the robots. In particular, this book examines the
activities, processes and contexts that influence or constrain
everyday EOD human-robot interactions, what human factors are
shaping the (robotic) technology and how people and culture are
being changed by using it. The findings from this research have
implications for future personnel training, and the refinement of
robot design considerations for many fields that rely on critical
small group communication and decision-making skills.
