'This book is remarkable because it covers a variety of topics including fundamentals of human-robot interaction and research in ground and aerial platforms as well as cross platform. It provides a deep understanding of cognitive and social perspectives of human-robot teaming as well as strengths and limits of the two components: human and machine. Reviews on adaptive automation, telepresence, and multimodal interface technologies offer solutions to many issues in human-robot interaction: improving situation awareness and human-robot ratio as well as reducing soldier workload. Experience gained and lessons learned from both simulation and field studies provide insights of interaction issues associated with uninhabited systems: teaming, coordination, communication, asset management, and system performance. This volume is a must read for all researchers and developers concerned with human-robot teaming in military domain.' Ming Hou, Defence Research & Development, Canada 'Surprisingly, the more robots can do on their own, the more important becomes the ability to coordinate those activities with other people and groups. Barnes and Jentsch have assembled a comprehensive treatment of the latest data, concepts and interfaces needed to coordinate people and robots in demanding dynamic and uncertain situations.' David Woods, Ohio State University, USA ’...gives an insight into how ergonomics scientists are approaching questions in HRI, in conceptualising the problems, running experiments and exploring solutions. The book will thus be a useful addition to libraries in human factors.’ Australian Defence Force Journal, Issue No. 192, 2013

Author Information

Michael Barnes is a Research Psychologist with the US Army Research Laboratory (ARL). For the past five years, he was the lead for the human robotic interaction (HRI) program that included both military and university research as part of an Army Technology Objective: Robotic Collaboration. His past experience includes tenure with the US Navy and as a human factors manager with General Electric. Also, he has served on a number of international committees related to HRI. He has authored or co-authored over 60 articles on the human element of military systems. Located at Ft. Huachuca, AZ, his research interests include investigations of risk visualization, intelligence processes and unmanned aerial vehicles crew systems. Florian Jentsch, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor at the University of Central Florida, Orlando, with joint appointments in the Department of Psychology and the Institute for Simulation & Training. He is also the Director of the Team Performance Laboratory. He received his Ph.D. in Human Factors Psychology in 1997, and he holds master’s degrees in aeronautical science and aeronautical engineering. Dr. Jentsch is associate editor for Human Factors and for Cognitive Technology, and consulting editor for the International Journal of Applied Aviation Studies. His research interests are in team performance and training, pilot training and performance, human-robot interaction, and simulation methodology. Dr. Jentsch has co-authored over 200 publications and presentations; this is his second edited book.
