▼ Robotic systems are becoming more practical in military applications. In fact, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are being used for surveillance and reconnaissance missions. Using UAVs for surveying a region of interest can increase situational awareness and decrease human casualty by allowing the operator to view the video feeds from the UAVs. However, current systems utilize complex one (or multiple) operator/one robot interfaces. In addition, human-in-the-loop models create issues because human operators tend to intervene more frequently if they do not trust the system or their expectations of the autonomy are not met. As a result, excessive or inept human intervention could negatively affect workload, situational awareness, and performance. This dissertation is aimed at allowing a single operator to efficiently manage multiple UAVs and interact effectively with higher levels of autonomy. By providing the operator with a mechanism to interact with the autonomy and aid in decision making, the operator becomes a part of the autonomous team. Contributions of this dissertation related to facilitating operator interaction with multi-robot surveillance systems include: (1) knowledge that trust is more than an understanding that the actions of an autonomous team are rational, but related to experiencing the actions' rationale; (2) a novel approach to teaming based on spatial and temporal environmental cues; and (3) the design and implementation of a testbed to measure the effect of the operator teaming with an autonomous system. Studies are used to evaluate the system and elucidate factors that affect operator trust. Results suggest that a human operator can team with multiple robots and effectively interact with higher levels of autonomy by experiencing the autonomous team's rationale using environmental cues. This approach using the spatial and temporal environmental cues was also found to promote trust, lower workload, and increase situational awareness while not degrading task performance.

▼ This thesis addresses the problem of motion planning for autonomous robots, given a map and an estimate of the robot pose within it. The motion planning problem for a mobile robot can be defined as computing a trajectory in an environment from one pose to another while avoiding obstacles and optimizing some objective such as path length or travel time, subject to constraints like vehicle dynamics limitations. More complex planning problems such as multi-robot planning or complete coverage of an area can also be defined within a similar optimization structure. The computational complexity of path planning presents a considerable challenge for real-time execution with limited resources and various methods of simplifying the problem formulation by discretizing the solution space are grouped under the class of discrete planning methods. The approach suggests representing the environment as a roadmap graph and formulating shortest path problems to compute optimal robot trajectories on it. This thesis presents two main contributions under the framework of discrete planning. The first contribution addresses complete coverage of an unknown environment by a single omnidirectional ground rover. The 2D occupancy grid map of the environment is first converted into a polygonal representation and decomposed into a set of convex sectors. Second, a coverage path is computed through the sectors using a hierarchical inter-sector and intra-sector optimization structure. It should be noted that both convex decomposition and optimal sector ordering are known NP-hard problems, which are solved using a greedy cut approximation algorithm and Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP) heuristics, respectively. The second contribution presents multi-robot path-planning strategies for recharging autonomous robots performing a persistent task. The work considers the case of surveillance missions performed by a team of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). The goal is to plan minimum cost paths for a separate team of dedicated charging robots such that they rendezvous with and recharge all the UAVs as needed. To this end, planar UAV trajectories are discretized into sets of charging locations and a partitioned directed acyclic graph subject to timing constraints is defined over them. Solutions consist of paths through the graph for each of the charging robots. The rendezvous planning problem for a single recharge cycle is formulated as a Mixed Integer Linear Program (MILP), and an algorithmic approach, using a transformation to the TSP, is presented as a scalable heuristic alternative to the MILP. The solution is then extended to longer planning horizons using both a receding horizon and an optimal fixed horizon strategy. Simulation results are presented for both contributions, which demonstrate solution quality and performance of the presented algorithms.
