The Tactical Teams project goal is to demonstrate the feasibility of a framework and relevant technologies to support robot and human teams in the collaborative performance of specialized tactical maneuvers. The Tactical Teams framework will facilitate human/robot teaming through the coordination of task roles; the use of natural communication modalities; including verbal and non-verbal avenues to allow effective communication between the human and robot members of the team; and the effective introduction to and demonstration of robots in key roles as part of tactically-relevant maneuvers.
