Abstract
This paper investigates the problem of user interface design and
evaluation for autonomous teams of heterogeneous mobile robots. We explore
an operator modeling approach to multi-robot user interface evaluation.
Specifically the authors generated GOMS models, a type of user model, to
investigate potential interface problems and to guide the interface
development process. Results indicate that our interface design changes
improve the usability of multi-robot mission generation substantially. We
conclude that modeling techniques such as GOMS can play an important role
in robotic interface development. Moreover, this research indicates that these
techniques can be performed in an inexpensive and timely manner, potentially
reducing the need for costly and demanding usability studies.
