In theory, autonomous robotic swarms can be used for critical Army tasks (i.e., accompanying convoys); however, the Soldier controlling the swarm must be able to monitor swarm status and correct actions, especially in disrupted or degraded conditions. For this two-year Director's Research Initiative (DRI), we designed metacognition algorithms and Soldier-swarm display concepts to allow Soldiers to efficiently interact with a robotic swarm participating in a representative convoy mission. We used ...
The U.S. Army Tank and Automotive Research, Development, and Engineering Center (TARDEC), in collaboration with the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL), Human Research and Engineering Directorate, is using TARDEC's Ride Motion Simulator (RMS) to address design requirements for future force systems. Future force systems are envisioned to be lightweight, highly-mobile vehicles that will utilize complex information systems to ensure, for example, both Soldier survivability and system lethality. One of the ...
