About
Andrew B. Talone is a researcher focused on the critical intersection of human factors and robotics, specializing in human-robot interaction (HRI) and the operation of unmanned vehicles (UVs). His work addresses the fundamental challenge of enabling effective, bi-directional communication between dismounted soldiers and their robot teammates. Talone’s most impactful contribution is his field assessment of multimodal communication (MMC) for dismounted human-robot teams, which garnered 22 citations and explored how auditory and visual/gesture cues can enhance teamwork in real-world settings. He has also advanced the field by comparing physical and virtual simulation testbeds for UGV research, providing key lessons on validity and experimental design. Talone’s research on human mental models of tactical robot movement and the effect of reliability information on appropriate reliance in autonomous teammates demonstrates his commitment to building trust and optimizing team performance. His work on immersive virtual reality (IVR) for HRI, including the evaluation of head-mounted displays (HMDs) and the development of signal detection tasks, has established him as a pioneer in using simulation for test and evaluation. Through these contributions, Talone has helped shape best practices for human-robot teaming in high-stakes, tactical environments.
