Autonomy defines what robots can do independently: the greater the autonomy, the more robots can do. However, giving more autonomy to robots does not always mean they can perform better. Adjustable autonomy systems solve this problem by providing multiple autonomy levels from which to select. The system designers select the autonomy levels based on what they think would be appropriate for the application. However there are circumstances where a required autonomy level is not provided. We designed a sliding scale autonomy system that provides a continuum of autonomy levels. We included a trust slider to ensure that the robot would take appropriate initiative in accordance with the level of trust that the user has of the robot. Our system was tested against two different adjustable autonomy systems for performance. Overall, users had fewer hits and lower run times with the sliding scale autonomy systems compared to the other two systems.
The book presents the theory, fundamentals, techniques and diverse applications of the behavioral, cognitive and neural mechanisms of trust in human-robot interaction, covering topics like individual differences, transparency, communication ...
Building trust in (autonomous) robotic systems is thus necessary. The title of this book highlights this challenge: “Trust in robots—Trusting robots”. Herein, various notions and research areas associated with robots are unified.
The book dives deeply into critical factors that impact how individuals interact with robots at home, work and play.
