The aim of this project is to understand the contextual factors and technical approaches underlying trustworthy human-swarm teams

The project will draw on co-creation with partners and potential users to generate potential use cases and operator-centred requirements. AI-based algorithms will be used to estimate the swarm state and recommend control actions to the human operators in extreme environments.

We will evaluate the trustworthiness of our system in a user study with a proof-of-concept HAC simulation and testing platform. The vision is to make our approach broadly applicable in human-swarm use cases, within and beyond the TAS Programme.
