Abstract

In this paper, we describe a work in progress multimodal multi -- robot user interface. This interface is designed to accommodate the limited cognitive abilities of the operator in a way to facilitate cooperative work between the robot team and the single human operator. It is the goal of the interface to take the data presented from various robots and provide this data as information in such a way that the operator is not overwhelmed. By shifting the data fusion required in a multi-robot system from the operator to the interface the operator will be able to maintain situation awareness while supervising multiple robots.
