extremely limited. We present challenges that, if addressed, will enable humans and robots …

This article presents a survey of literature in the area of Human–Robot Interaction (HRI),
specifically on systems containing more than two agents (ie, having multiple humans and/or …

This paper describes the Player/Stage software tools applied to multi-robot, distributed-robot
and sensor network systems. Player is a robot device server that provides network …

Abstract Robotic Development Environments (RDEs) have come to play an increasingly
important role in robotics research in general, and for the development of architectures for …

In the pursuit of an efficient cooperative multi-robot system, the researcher must eventually
answer the question “how should robots communicate?”; a natural way to attack this …

In order for humans and robots to work effectively together, they need to be able to converse
about abilities, goals and achievements. Thus, we are developing an interaction …

We describe the development of Centibots, a framework for very large teams of robots that
are able to perceive, explore, plan and collaborate in unknown environments. The Centibots …

The Peer-to-Peer Human-Robot Interaction (P2P-HRI) project is developing techniques to
improve task coordination and collaboration between human and robot partners. Our …

Human-swarm interaction is an emerging field encompassing questions related to biology,
robotics, computer science, human-computer interaction, and psychology. Swarms are large …

In future work systems, humans may interact with scalable industrial robots. In a virtual
reality simulation study, human mental workload effects were analyzed in human-robot …
