Abstract

The DoD, Federal agencies, and industry are increasingly using robots in important tasks such as search and rescue operations. However, because robot behaviors can be hard to distinguish and understand, users mistrust and often abandon these very useful tools. In these projects, we are developing algorithms for robots to

  • automatically explain their behaviors to users to improve users’ trust and assurance of them
  • proactively adapt their behavior during execution to enable users to accurately predict what the robot will do next
