2019. Exploring Human-Robot Trust During Teaming in a Real-World Testbed. 2019 14th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction (HRI). :592—593.
Project Aquaticus is a human-robot teaming competition on the water involving autonomous surface vehicles and human operated motorized kayaks. Teams composed of both humans and robots share the same physical environment to play capture the flag. In this paper, we present results from seven competitions of our half-court (one participant versus one robot) game. We found that participants indicated more trust in more aggressive behaviors from robots.

2018. NETSIM: A Realtime Virtual Ocean Hardware-in-the-loop Acoustic Modem Network Simulator. 2018 Fourth Underwater Communications and Networking Conference (UComms). :1–5.
This paper presents netsim, a combined software/hardware system for performing realtime realistic operation of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) with acoustic modem telemetry in a virtual ocean environment. The design of the system is flexible to the choice of physical link hardware, allowing for the system to be tested against existing and new modems. Additionally, the virtual ocean channel simulator is designed to perform in real time by coupling less frequent asynchronous queries to high-fidelity models of the ocean environment and acoustic propagation with frequent pertubation-based updates for the exact position of the simulated AUVs. The results demonstrate the performance of this system using the WHOI Micro-Modem 2 hardware in the virtual ocean environment of the Arctic Beaufort Sea around 73 degrees latitude. The acoustic environment in this area has changed dramatically in recent years due to the changing climate.
