“…Research which focuses on investigating dynamic LOA switching on mobile robots is fairly limited. Furthermore, the investigation of MI systems to address this dynamic switching is even more limited, as highlighted by Jiang and Arkin [6] and Chiou et al [4]. A large part of the literature, e.g.…”

“…It is particularly important to control for the training and experience of human test-subjects, as these factors are known to affect overall robot operating performance [13], [14]. Additional confounding factors include the robot having different speed limits in the different conditions tested [11], or different navigation strategies of human operators [4]. In contrast to our work, Nielsen et al [15] report no significant primary task results due to large measurement variances, but they do present a method for systematically categorizing the different navigational strategies of human operators.…”

“…The system is a Human-Initiative (HI) system as the operator can switch between these LOAs at any time by pressing a joystick button. The software used was developed in Robot Operating System (ROS) and is described in more detail in [4].…”

“…which is the time passed without any progress towards achieving a goal [4]. For example a robot being neglected by its operator when in teleoperation mode, or stuck due to a navigation failure in autonomy mode.…”

“…These questions need to be explored by conducting experiments within a rigorous multidisciplinary framework, drawing on methodologies from the fields of psychology and human factors, as well as engineering and computer science. Our previous work [4] highlighted the absence of such a framework in existing literature. Additionally it demonstrated the intrinsic complexity of conducting such experiments due to the high number of confounding factors and large variances in the results.…”
