Swarm Transparency
Julie A. Adams, Jessie Y. C. Chen, Michael A. Goodrich · 2018
A key element of system transparency is allowing humans to calibrate their trust in a system, given the implicit inherent uncertainty, emergent behaviors, etc. As robotic swarms progress towards real-world missions, such transparency becomes increasingly necessary in order to reduce the disuse, misuse and errors humans make when influencing and directing the swarm. However,achieving this objective requires addressing the complex challenges associated with providing transparency. Two swarm transparency challenge categories, with exemplar challenges, are provided.
