Abstract
This paper investigates learning effects and human operator training practices in variable autonomy robotic systems. These factors are known to affect performance of a human-robot system and are frequently overlooked. We present the results from an experiment inspired by a search and rescue scenario in which operators remotely controlled a mobile robot with either Human-Initiative (HI) or Mixed-Initiative (MI) control. Evidence suggests learning in terms of primary navigation task and secondary (distractor) task performance. Further evidence is provided that MI and HI performance in a pure navigation task is equal. Lastly, guidelines are proposed for experimental design and operator training practices.
