• Homogeneity allows for coordination & cooperation; Heterogeneity allows for “true collaboration”
• Focus is on how to compose and recompose teams or teams of teams of autonomous, human (in a diversity of roles), and computing assets in order to accomplish a mission
RA2 Outlook
Task-driven Planning (Set of Agents pre-defined). “You go to war with the Army you have.” Online,
real-time, deal with attrition.

Species
Team-driven Planning (Set of Tasks predefined). Designing hierarchies & agents. What traits should
the species have? Suited to the way Humans training.

• Heterogeneity of Traits in terms of sensing, actuation, computation communication, locomotion, roles
• Agents (or Species) include robots, humans (commanders, peers, bystanders, advisories), computational resources
• Missions (or Tasks) might include localization, mapping, object/target ID, ad hoc networking, tactile movements (deliver, amass, scatter, approach, follow, cordon, surveil). Force Multiplication & Force Protection
• Objectives might include agility, speed, robustness, cost, redundancy, responsiveness

RA2.A1: Abstractions of Task Diversity (Kumar, Egerstedt, & Hsieh)Objective: Develop abstractions of species (particularly non-humans) by decomposing them into a collection of composable traits. [Near term: perimeter defense, resilient comms]
RA2.A2: Modeling Human Traits (Chernova, Christensen, Egerstedt, Shah)Objective: Develop abstractions of composable human traits, which accommodate general and evolving individualized profiles. [Near-term: shared human/non-human control and role discovery]
RA2.A3: Composable Autonomy in Heterogeneous Groups (Egerstedt, Ayanian, Hsieh & Kumar)Objective: Develop means of mapping high-level mission requirements to abstractions (traits) used to synthesize action plans & task requirements. [Near term: target scenario]
RA2.A: Contextual Abstractions for Heterogeneous Groups

RA2.B1: Human-Agent Collaborative Control of the Swarm (Shah, Bassett, Chernova, Egerstedt, & Tsiotras)Objective: Interaction architecture that makes large scale swarms amenable to human control in dynamic, stochastic, and partially observable environments. [Near term: human data from use cases]
RA2.B2: Heterogeneous Hierarchical Autonomous Networks (Ribeiro, How, & Hsieh)Objective: Develop the tactical cloud through the exploitation of heterogeneous communications strategies & computing capabilities. [Near term: test-bed definition and development]
