Abstract
Advancements in technology in the field of robotics have made it necessary to determine integration and use for these in civilian tasks and military missions. Currently, literature is limited on robot employment in tasks and missions, and few taxonomies exist that guide understanding of robot functionality.As robots acquire more capabilities and functions, they will likely be working more closely with humans in human-robot teams. In order to better utilize and design robots that enhance performance in such teams, a better understanding of what robots can do and the impact of these behaviors on the human operator/teammate is needed.
