Shared Mental Models for Human-Robot Teams

Shared mental models have been shown to improve human team performance. We thus conjecture that shared mental models (SMMs) integrated into cognitive robotic architectures might also improve the performance of mixed human-robot teams. To date, very little research has focused on developing appropriate computational constructs that can support domain independence and generalizability, while also being scalable. In this paper, we outline our proposed development of SMMs for cognitive robots.
