Teams for Teams

We are developing a theory for human control of robot teams based on considering how control varies across different task allocations. Our current work focuses on domains such as foraging in which robots perform largely independent tasks. The present study addresses the interaction between automation and organization of human teams in controlling large robot teams performing an Urban Search and...

Teams for Teams Performance in Multi-Human/Multi-Robot Teams

The present study addresses the interaction between automation and organization of human teams in controlling large robot teams performing an Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) task. We identify three subtasks: perceptual visual search for victims, assistance teleoperation to assist robot, and navigation path planning and coordination. For the studies reported, navigation was selected for automatio...

Pattern Teams

Pattern discovery algorithms typically produce many interesting patterns. In most cases, patterns are reported based on their individual merits, and little attention is given to the interestingness of a pattern in the context of other patterns reported. In this paper, we propose filtering the returned set of patterns based on a number of quality measures for pattern sets. We refer to a small su...

Competing Teams∗

In numerous economic applications of matching, the teams that form compete later. For instance, pharmaceuticals assemble R&D teams to develop new drugs and then compete for patents. Such post-match competition in the output market introduces interdependence at the matching stage, as the value of a match depends on the composition of R&D teams in the other firms. This paper develops a matching m...
