This $190,504 National Science Foundation project grant supports the development of novel methodologies for multi-robot coordination grounded in human collaboration. Funded under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070), the awardee Brown University will create an online crowdsourcing application to collect data on how distributed human teams coordinate to complete tightly coupled tasks when constrained to limited information and actions similar to robots. Insights from analyzing this data using statistical and deep learning methods will inform the inference of diverse ensembles of coordination models for distributed robot teams solving analogous problems. The models' success will be validated through simulation, hardware, and mixed reality experiments. The overall goal is to leverage human coordination capabilities demonstrated via the crowdsourcing platform to develop more effective multi-robot coordination approaches applicable to real-world applications. The award period is January 1, 2023 through January 31, 2024.
