Human-Agent Teaming Between Soldiers and Unmanned Ground Systems in a Resupply Scenario

As Unmanned Ground Systems are more and more used for military operations, there is a need to integrate these systems better into the standard operating procedures and to ensure that military operators have the required skills to operate these tools. There-fore, a careful design of the human – robot interface is required. This paper discusses how this problem was tackled within the European iMUGS project. The ergonomic design of the tactical planning system is elaborated, together with the high-level swar-ming and task scheduling methods that divide the work between robotic and human agents in the field.
