In this chapter, we present a passivity-based approach to a human–swarm collaboration
problem. In the system, the operator is assumed to have a device to command a limited …

Human-robot collaborative object search entails joint efforts between a human and a robot
operating in the same environment to locate a target object. Achieving efficient collaboration …

This paper is on human-robot collaborative site inspection and target classification. We
consider the realistic case that human visual performance is imperfect (depending on the …

This paper considers the control of a mobile manipulator with the end-effector commanded
by a human user. The motivation is to empower mobility impaired individuals to tackle …

In this paper, we consider domain search tasks using a human-agent collaborative team. An
automated Bayesian sequential decision-making strategy is first proposed for the optimal …

In human–robot cooperation, it is effective for a robot to ask a human partner for help to
reduce the time required for a task. However, the person might not be able to help the robot …

In this paper, we consider a collaborative human-robot Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP),
where a robot is tasked with site inspection and target classification, under a limited motion …

In this paper, we consider robotic surveillance tasks that involve visual perception. The robot
has a limited access to a remote operator to ask for help. However, humans may not be able …

People with severe mobility impairment such as quadriplegia require help from human
assistants to manage activities of daily living. Various assistive robotic devices have been …

Human-robot collaborative object search is a problem where an appropriate sharing of
search areas realizes an efficient search. This paper describes a method of determining the …
