Abstract

Although much work has been done on designing autonomy and user interfaces for managing small teams of independent robots, much less is known about managing large-scale bio-inspired robot (BIRT) teams. In this paper, we explore human interaction with BIRT teams in an information foraging task. We summarize results from two small experiments that use two types of BIRT teams in a foraging task. The results illustrate differences in BIRT performance for different types of human interaction, and illustrate how performance robustness can vary as a function of interaction type.
