Abstract

This paper describes an innovative agent-basedarchitecture for mixed-initiative interaction betweena human and a robot that interacts via a graphicaluser interface (GUI). Mixed-initiative interactiontypically refers to a flexible interaction strategybetween a human and a computer to contribute whatis best-suited at the most appropriate time [1]. Inthis paper, we extend this concept to human-robotinteraction (HRI). When compared to pure human-computerinteraction, HRIs encounter additionaldifficulty, as the user must assess the situation at therobot's remote location via limited sensory feedback.We propose an agent-based adaptive human-robotinterface for mixed-initiative interaction to addressthis challenge. The proposed adaptive user interface(UI) architecture provides a platform for developingvarious agents that control robots and user interfacecomponents (UICs). Such components permit thehuman and the robot to communicate mission-relevantinformation.
