Visualization of Multiple Robots During Team Activities

Team Visualization Interface

As robotic systems encompass larger numbers of individual robotic agents, interface design must provide better visual representations that account for factors affecting situational awareness. This project investigated different robotic team visualizations that varied in how much information was displayed: only individual robots, individual robots connected via a semitransparent team shape, and a solid team shape. The evaluation results revealed that the two visualizations that utilized a team shape were strongly preferred over the visualization that displayed only individual robots.
