The INEEL is working to develop a new class of robotic systems that can adjust their level of autonomy on the fly, leveraging their own intrinsic intelligence to meet whatever level of control is handed down from the user. These robots operate from a wide variety of platforms — from all-terrain vehicles to submersible robots or even whole colonies or "swarms" of interactive robots, each smaller than a human hand. The trait common to all these systems is the ability to share initiatively between human and machine, permitting the system to cope with interruptions in communication links, component failures, and changes in operator workload, resources, and mission requirements.






Introduction
In the near future, it may be possible to produce and deploy large numbers of inexpensive, disposable, meso-scale robots. Although limited in individual capability, such robots deployed in large numbers can represent a strong cumulative force similar to a colony of ants or swarm of bees. Using a team of small, sensor-rich robots and a larger, parent robot, we have explored the problem of how to enable flexible, adjustable autonomy control for a remote characterization task. To accomplish the task, the robot team must autonomously deploy into a building, efficiently search through corridors and rooms to locate a spill, and then cooperatively form a perimeter around a chemical spill. The system should be able to accomplish these objectives with human input varying from complete to none at all.
