Soldiers & Robots Interaction Studies - Robotics Research Book

Explore the evolving relationship between human operators and automated systems in this specialized research volume. As part of the Robotics Research and Technology series, this book examines how war fighters engage with cutting-edge Future Combat Systems (FCS). The text provides a detailed look at how personnel manage diverse land, air, sea, and undersea vehicles across a wide range of mission profiles. Readers will find information regarding the deployment of unattended sensors, reconnaissance operations, search and rescue missions, and medical support. The content covers the full spectrum of technology, from single sensors to complex multirobot systems. Because missions and systems differ so significantly, the book also addresses the various operator control units and multioperator control unit interfaces used to manage these robots. This resource is designed for those studying the technical and operational aspects of modern robotic integration in combat environments.
