This book focuses on the importance of human factors in the development of reliable and safe
unmanned systems. It discusses current challenges such as how to improve perceptual and
cognitive abilities of robots develop suitable synthetic vision systems cope with degraded
reliability of unmanned systems predict robotic behavior in case of a loss of communication
the vision for future soldier-robot teams human-agent teaming real-world implications for
human-robot interaction and approaches to standardize both display and control of technologies
across unmanned systems. Based on the AHFE 2016 International Conference on Human Factors in
Robots and Unmanned Systems held on July 27-31 2016 in Walt Disney World® Florida USA
this book is expected to foster new discussion and stimulate new ideas towards the development
of more reliable safer and functional devices for carrying out automated and concurrent
tasks.
