  2. Thrust III: Objective • Empirical evaluation of remote human operator and human teammate levels of cognitive-load, situation awareness, trust, and performance related to efficient, flexible, and effective HRI, human-robot team structures, team mental models, and system scalability. MIT-Vanderbilt-Stanford UW-UMASS Amherst

  3. III.A: Task Objectives • Provide a means of empirically evaluating potential human-robot interaction and visualization options prior to full system and hardware integration. MIT-Vanderbilt-Stanford UW-UMASS Amherst

  4. III.A Existing Technology • Microsoft Robotics Studio simulation of the MDS robots • Quadrotor simulator MIT-Vanderbilt-Stanford UW-UMASS Amherst

  5. III.A Existing Evaluation Methods • A number of evaluation methods exist that will be incorporated, as appropriate, for assessing • Usability (e.g. Errors) • Workload (e.g. NASA TLX, Multiple Resources Questionnaire) • Situation Awareness (e.g. SAGAT, SART) • Team coordination (e.g. Observation, Efficiency) • HRI Metrics (e.g. Effectiveness, Fan Out) MIT-Vanderbilt-Stanford UW-UMASS Amherst

  6. III.A Technical Advances • Quantitative evaluation of visualization interaction alternatives with simulated vehicles. • Permits preliminary evaluation for cognitive limitations, situation awareness, and team performance. • Permits the narrowing of alternatives for future development. MIT-Vanderbilt-Stanford UW-UMASS Amherst

  7. III.A: Year 1 Milestones/Deliverables • Simulation based evaluations of potential UV specialist, triage officer (division chief), and incident commander. • Visualizations and interactions • Transitions with historical context MIT-Vanderbilt-Stanford UW-UMASS Amherst

  8. III.A: Year 2+ Milestones/Deliverables • Simulation based evaluations of • triage specific HRI for the UV specialist, triage officer (division chief), and incident commander. • Situation awareness drill down • HAZMAT HRI capabilities. • the integrated HRI visualizations, interactions, drill down, and transition capabilities. MIT-Vanderbilt-Stanford UW-UMASS Amherst

  9. III.B: Task Objectives • Empirical evaluation of human operator and human team member levels with real hardware. • Assessing cognitive-load, situation awareness, trust, and performance related to efficient, flexible, and effective HRI, human-robot team structures, team mental models, and system scalability. MIT-Vanderbilt-Stanford UW-UMASS Amherst

  10. III.B Existing Evaluation Methods • Trust • An elusive characteristic to measure in human-robot interaction. • Neither human-human nor trust in automation scales are effective indicators of trust in embodied and mobile robots. MIT-Vanderbilt-Stanford UW-UMASS Amherst

  11. III.B Technical Advances • Empirical results that advance the state of the art understanding of • trust by humans in robotic systems • teaming between humans and robotic systems • situation awareness and cognitive demands placed on humans • functioning as remote supervisors of robotic and human teams • transitioning between remote operator roles • maintaining common ground among the multiple user levels/roles. • when acting as a peer/teammate with robotic systems MIT-Vanderbilt-Stanford UW-UMASS Amherst

  12. III.B: Year 1 Milestones/Deliverables • Task specific evaluations of UV specialist, triage officer (division chief), and incident commander. • Visualizations and interactions • Transitions with historical context MIT-Vanderbilt-Stanford UW-UMASS Amherst

  13. III.B: Year 2+ Milestones/Deliverables • Year 2: Continued evaluations • triage specific HRI for the UV specialist, triage officer (division chief), and incident commander. • Situation awareness drill down • HAZMAT HRI capabilities. • Peer-to-peer HRI capabilities • Year 2+: • Evaluation of integrated remote HRI visualizations, interactions, drill down, and transition capabilities. • System evaluations of overall and human-robot team performance, trust, and system capabilities. • Evaluations of distributed HRI.
