Human-mobile agents partnerships in complex environment

This article is devoted to explore the robotic and software support strategies based on a sample activity providing optimal inputs, namely a simulated human missions. This mission will be treated as a clean-sheet approach for operating multiple, diverse and adaptive agents in complex environments. Building upon existing state-of-the-art hardware, like mobile robots, astrobiological instruments and software architectures, results and experiences from previous missions involving the partners, high-fidelity analog field tests shall demonstrate the added value, potential and limitations of adaptive machines supporting humans in a challenging environment.
