How can multiple humans interact with multiple robots? The goal of our research is to create an effective interface that allows multiple operators to collaboratively control teams of robots in complex tasks. In this paper, we focus on a key aspect that affects our exploration of the design space of human-robot interfaces -- inter-human communicatio...

... two or more operators simultaneously want to move the same virtual object, then the robots transport the object to the last received position. Fig. 3c and Fig. 3d show the robots transporting the object. Robot-oriented Interaction. The interface overlays a virtual cylinder on the recognized robot tags (see Fig. 4a). The dimensions and colors of the virtual cylinder are identical to the dimensions and colors of the fiducial marker on the robot. Operators can differentiate between different virtual cylinders using these colors while controlling multiple robots at once. The operators can use a one-finger swipe to move the virtual cylinders to ...

... the virtual cylinder are identical to the dimensions and colors of the fiducial marker on the robot. Operators can differentiate between different virtual cylinders using these colors while controlling multiple robots at once. The operators can use a one-finger swipe to move the virtual cylinders to denote a desired position for the robots (see Fig. 4b). If multiple operators simultaneously want to move the virtual cylinder, then the robot considers the last received request. If the robot is performing collective object transport, then other robots in the team pause their operation until the selected robot reaches the desired position. If the robot is part of an operator-defined ...

In this paper, we present a framework for trust-aware sequential decision-making in a human-robot team. We model the problem as a finite-horizon Markov Decision Process with a reward-based performance metric, allowing the robotic agent to make trust-aware recommendations. Results of a human-subject experiment show that the proposed trust update mod...
