A methodology to assess performance of human-robotic systems in achievement of collective tasks

In this paper, we present a methodology to assess system performance of human-robotic systems in achievement of collective tasks such as habitat construction, geological sampling, and space exploration. The methodology uses a systematic approach that assesses performance by incorporating capabilities of both human and robotic agents based on accomplishment of functional operations and effect of cognitive stress due to continuous operation by the human agent. In this paper, we provide an overview of the assessment system and discuss its implementation on a representative habitat construction task.
