TLDR
In this paper, the authors describe experience with applying a user-centric design methodology in developing systems for human-robot teaming in Urban Search & Rescue (USSR) in tunnel accidents.Abstract:
The paper describes experience with applying a user-centric design methodology in developing systems for human-robot teaming in Urban Search & Rescue. A human-robot team consists of several robots (rovers/UGVs, microcopter/UAVs), several humans at an off-site command post (mission commander, UGV operators) and one on-site human (UAV operator). This system has been developed in close cooperation with several rescue organizations, and has been deployed in a real-life tunnel accident use case. The human-robot team jointly explores an accident site, communicating using a multi-modal team interface, and spoken dialogue. The paper describes the development of this complex socio-technical system per se, as well as recent experience in evaluating the performance of this system.read more

Robotic Online Path Planning on Point Cloud
TL;DR: A novel local Riemannian metric is defined using the saliency components, which helps the modeling of the latent traversable surface and proves that the geodesic in the 3-D tensor space leads to rational path-planning results by experiments.

Emotional Attachment, Performance, and Viability in Teams Collaborating with Embodied Physical Action (EPA) Robots
Sangseok You,Lionel P. Robert +1 more
TL;DR: Both robot and team identification increased a team’s emotional attachment to its robots and had implications for collaboration using EPA robots specifically and for collaboration technology in general.

Evaluation of the EKF-Based Estimation Architectures for Data Fusion in Mobile Robots
TL;DR: Evaluation of four different state estimation architectures exploiting the extended Kalman filter for 6-DOF dead reckoning of a mobile robot finds the nonlinear model combined with the complementary filter is selected as a best candidate and implemented for real-time onboard processing during a rescue mission deployment.

Attention, intention, and the structure of discourse
TL;DR: A new theory of discourse structure that stresses the role of purpose and processing in discourse is explored and various properties of discourse are described, and explanations for the behavior of cue phrases, referring expressions, and interruptions are explored.

Analyzing intention in utterances
James F. Allen,C. R. Perrault +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that, given a setting in which purposeful dialogues occur, this model of cooperative behavior can account for responses that provide more information that explicitly requested and for appropriate responses to both short sentence fragments and indirect speech acts.

Human-robot interaction in rescue robotics
TL;DR: The article presents a synopsis of the major HRI issues in reducing the number of humans it takes to control a robot, maintaining performance with geographically distributed teams with intermittent communications, and encouraging acceptance within the existing social structure.
