This five-year, $323,314 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at The Ohio State University to develop modeling techniques for analyzing and designing collaborative behavior in human-robot teams. The grant falls under the NSF's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program, which aims to advance computing and informatics research.

Specifically, the researchers will formalize representations for joint human-robot activity using graph theory and agent-based modeling. This framework will allow for objective, dynamic analysis of teamwork needs to manage interdependencies. Based on the models, the project will develop techniques to dynamically regulate coordination costs and improve collaboration. Findings will provide insights into robot capabilities needed to support useful cooperation. The work is intended to help robots become more effective cooperative agents and enhance resilience of complex operations involving humans and robots.
