Extended Reality proposed as mediation layer for human-robot control

A new paper proposes Extended Reality (XR) as a crucial mediation layer for situated human control in human-robot teaming. The authors argue that XR can enhance a human collaborator's ability to understand, shape, authorize, and interrupt robot actions within their specific physical, social, and temporal context. The paper outlines four key mediation functions and six design dimensions to guide the development of XR systems that improve robot autonomy's actionability and accountability in dynamic, shared environments. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more intuitive and effective human-robot collaboration by leveraging XR for better control and understanding.

    Extended Reality as a Mediation Layer for Situated Human Control in Human-Robot Teaming

    arXiv:2607.25047v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Extended Reality (XR) is increasingly used in human-robot interaction to communicate robot intent, planned motion, reachability, and state. We argue that XR should also be understood as a mediation layer for situated human control…
