Dynamic leadership for human-robot teams

This paper evaluates collaborative tasking tools that facilitate dynamic sharing of responsibilities between robot and operator throughout a search and detection task Participants who utilize Collaborative Tasking Mode (CTM) do not experience a significant performance penalty, yet benefit from reduced workload and fewer instances of confusion. In addition, CTM participants report a higher overall feeling of control as compared to those using Standard Shared Mode.
