Exploring Multi-Agent Human-Robot Teaming Dynamics in a Musical Orchestral Context

Abstract

The traversing of Human Robot Interaction (HRI) to Human Robot Teaming (HRT) has seen huge transformation from human-robots working in collaboration to working as teammates. The progress in automation, network connectivity and HRI represent a transformative shift to embrace Industry 5.0 by integrating advanced technologies like AI, robotics and IoT to create a symbiotic ecosystem where human ingenuity and machine intelligence converge. This paper outlines a conceptual review, to provide a well-defined understanding of Multi-Agent HRT that paves a new path from simple HRI to more evolved HRC and emergence of HRT in the subsets of well-defined 4C's combining multi modal communication, multitudinous sensory modalities viz. visual, auditory, and tactile inputs as a part of HRI systems. This study also explores the onset of MA-HRT framework for a musical orchestra system workflow to demonstrate key features such as coexistence, collaboration, control and cooperation.
