The volume aims at investigating the relationships emerging from the in-depth use of robots in military applications. The approach is that of analyzing the requirements of the interaction from multiple views. The book balances properly technological features of the existing systems against the cognitive requirements of human interaction. Wherever there are constraints imposed by soldier and civil safety, timings and the battlefield scenario are kept in consideration. The book examines the combined effects and results of development designs by contextualizing them in the huge expertise achieved by the contributing authors. All the guidelines are complemented with real implementations developed within the contributors’ experiences. As a result, the volume is a best read for experts, users, or engineers in the field who are likely to develop or employ these type of systems.
