ABSTRACT
In this paper, we focus on human-robot interaction in a team task where we identify the need for peer-to-peer (P2P) teamwork, with no fixed hierarchy for decision making between robots and humans. Instead, all team members are equal participants and decision making is truly distributed. We have fully developed a P2P team within Segway Soccer, a research domain, built upon Robocup robot soccer, that we have introduced to explore the challenge of P2P coordination in human-robot teams with dynamic, adversarial tasks. We recently participated in the first Segway Soccer games between two competing teams at the 2005 RoboCup US Open. We believe these games are the first ever between two human-robot P2P teams. Based on the competition, we realized two different approaches to P2P teams. We present our robot-centric approach to P2P team coordination and contrast it to the human-centric approach of the opponent team.

Engaging robots: easing complex human-robot teamwork using backchanneling
CSCW '13: Proceedings of the 2013 conference on Computer supported cooperative workPeople are increasingly working with robots in teams and recent research has focused on how human-robot teams function, but little attention has yet been paid to the role of social signaling behavior in human-robot teams. In a controlled experiment, we ...
Human Coordination Dynamics with Heterogeneous Robots in a Team
HRI '16: The Eleventh ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human Robot InteractionRobots with different behaviors will be a part of human-robot teams in the future and will impact the overall interaction patterns of teams. In this paper, we investigate how the presence of robots affect the coordination of human-robot teams when a ...
A survey of multi-agent Human–Robot Interaction systems
AbstractThis article presents a survey of literature in the area of Human–Robot Interaction (HRI), specifically on systems containing more than two agents (i.e., having multiple humans and/or multiple robots). We identify three core aspects of “Multi-...
