Human-Robot Interactions in Future Military Operations

This volume illuminates the challenges and solutions for military HRI and so provides a better understanding of this complex concept. It enables scientists investigating military HRI issues to present their results within a single volume. Issues range from operators interacting with small ground robots and aerial vehicles to supervising large, near-autonomous vehicles capable of intelligent battlefield behaviors. The book's focus is the ability of the human to 'team' with intelligent unmanned systems in such environments.
