... The panels addressed research challenges and, in some cases, suggested possible approaches. Panel One: Design, Evaluation, and Training Moderator: Robert Hoffman Group Members: Michael Freed, Robert Hoffman, Don Mottaz, Mark Neerincx, Jean Scholtz The panel moderator, Robert Hoffman, provided the panel's approach to the design-build-test-deployment process of human-machine systems.

... During the Q&A portion of this panel discussion, Lin Padgham sug gested that a looser funding model that focuses on the end product as opposed to item-by-item accounting could result in a cocreative process that more accurate ly reflects the vendor's capabilities and the user's needs. Panel Two: Intent Recognition, Execution Monitoring, and Planning Moderator: Andreas Hofmann Group Members: Michael Beetz, Tal Oron-Gilad, Andreas Hofmann, Paul Maglio, Dirk Shulz, Lakmal Seneviratne, Liz Sonenberg, Satoshi Tadokoro The moderator, Andreas Hofmann, spoke on behalf of the panel.

... Panel Three: Communication Moderator: GJ Kruijff Group Members: Frank Dignum, GJ Kruijff, Yukie Nagai, Daniele Nardi, Lin Padgham, Matthias Scheutz, Candy Sidner GJ Kruijff, the moderator, provided a summary of the panel's discussions. Kruijff indicated that the panel addressed fundamental problems associated with communication -- not simply the sharing of words and gestures but the depth of meaning that words and gestures represent.

... Panel Four: Collaboration Group Members: Terry Fong, Mike Goodrich, Alex Morison, Gopal Ramchurn, Manuela Veloso, Tom Wagner, Rong Xiong In contrast to the other panels that chose a moderator to speak for the entire group, each member of the group discussed aspects of collaboration of interest to him or her. Alex Morison discussed how collaboration involves reci procity; team members cannot achieve their own goals without helping others.

... Taken together, these myths suggest that autonomy is more multidimensional, complex, and collaborative than is often viewed in the literature. Manuela Veloso suggested that the robot's planning algorithms -- such as Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (POMDP)

... 16 INTELLIGENT HUMAN-MACHINE COLLABORATION robot waiting at an elevator would, instead of waiting opportunistically for the elevator door to open, ask a person walking by to press the button for it. Gopal Ramchurn suggested that research is still to be done to find the balance between interaction design and mechanism design so that rules of en gagement between and among humans and robots take incentives of team mem bers into account.
