Human-robot teaming in a multi-agent space assembly task
2004
NASA's Human Space Flight program depends heavily on spacewalks performed by pairs of suited human astronauts. These extra-vehicular activities (EVAs) are severely restricted in both duration and scope by consumables and available manpower. An expanded multi-agent EVA team combining the information-gathering and problem-solving skills of humans with the survivability and physical capabilities of robots is proposed and illustrated by example. Such teams are useful for large-scale, complex missions requiring dispersed manipulation, locomotion and sensing capabilities. To study collaboration modalities within a multi-agent EVA team, a I-g test is conducted with humans and robots working together in various supporting roles
