Teams Are Changing: Are Research and Practice Evolving Fast Enough?
2012
Industrial and Organizational Psychology
For each theme, we share our observations, review the related science and identify future research needs, and specify challenges and recommendations for employing effective team-based practices in applied ...
However, the nature of teams and the environment in which they operate has changed, and as a result, new needs have emerged. ...
In effect, team membership is treated as though it is a static variable. ...

Validating Human–Robot Interaction Schemes in Multitasking Environments
2005
IEEE transactions on systems, man and cybernetics. Part A. Systems and humans
The ability of robots to autonomously perform tasks is increasing. More autonomy in robots means that the human managing the robot may have available free time. ...
We present the notion of neglect tolerance as a means for determining how robot autonomy and interface design determine how free time can be used to support multitasking, in general, and multirobot teams ...
The experiment consisted of a series of training and testing sessions, counterbalanced to mitigate the effects of learning. ...

Eliciting caregiving behavior in dyadic human-robot attachment-like interactions
2012
ACM transactions on interactive intelligent systems (TiiS)
In a second experiment, we tested how human adults behaved in a similar setup with two different robots: one needy, often demanding attention, and one more independent, requesting far less care or assistance ...
In the first setting, we show that such a robotic architecture allows the human caregiver to influence greatly the learning outcomes of the exploration episode, with some similarities to a primary caregiver ...
The views expressed in this paper are those of the authors, and not necessarily those of the consortium. ...

Autonomous Systems -- An Architectural Characterization
[article]
2018
arXiv
pre-print
The concept of autonomy is key to the IoT vision promising increasing integration of smart services and systems minimizing human intervention. ...
Machine learning is essential for autonomy although it can meet only a small portion of the needs implied by autonomous system design. We conclude that autonomy is a kind of broad intelligence. ...
What is the difference between a thermostat, an automatic train shuttle, a chess-playing robot, a soccer-playing robot and a robocar? ...

Systems Challenges for Trustworthy Embodied Systems
[article]
2022
arXiv
pre-print
A new generation of increasingly autonomous and self-learning embodied systems is about to be developed. ...
When deploying embodied systems into a real-life context we face various engineering challenges, as it is crucial to coordinate the behavior of embodied systems in a beneficial manner, ensure their compatibility ...
