An interface for the intuitive and reliable operation of a heterogeneous robotic team with state monitoring and a safe failure tolerance system

Establishing an intuitive and safe interface between a group of collaborating, fully autonomous
robots and their user(s) is one of the last challenges that still hinder the use of large robotic
formations in real-world scenarios. The project tackles this issue via a science and research
technology that facilitates the following tasks: merging and visualizing telemetric data from
sizable groups of UAVs, UGVs, and robot boats; mission planning; managing emergencies and
malfunctions; and showing the sensor-acquired data to the operator in real time. With the
interface, a group of robots will be controllable even by a user who lacks special skills in robotics.
Importantly, the interface will also be applied in specific cyber schemes and real-world
environments involving end users.
