Abstract

Devastation! If you were standing at the corner of Harbour Avenue and Front Street on this Caribbean Island, you would see in every direction, through patches of mist and dust, heart-wrenching scenes of devastation caused by the recent category 5 hurricane. The houses and buildings of this once-quaint, popular tourist city are smashed, broken into timber and glass and twisted metal. Days later, when the winds subside to tolerable levels, fires still rage.

The mapping from data fusion to intentional action is often mediated through a model of the environment, which may be learned or predefined. Alternatively, the mapping between data and action may be handled by a human operator who monitors and issues commands.

In their systematic survey of research on chatbots, Seering et al. identified 104 research papers, of which 91 were primarily concerned with dyadic communication, 6 dealt with broadcasting chatbots (chatbots that send one-way messages to many recipients), 6 focused on multiuser chatbots, and 1 paper did specifically concentrate on any of these categories. Among the 130 chatbots that they identified that are used outside of academic research, 103 were dyadic, 14 were broadcasting chatbots, and 13 were multiuser. Of the 13 multiuser chatbots, 11 were used on online community platforms to host chatroom-style interactions (e.g., Twitch, Discord, and Slack).

For example, an autonomous vehicle needs to coordinate its actions with those of other vehicles and might only verbally interact with the driver. A robot that is a part of a team of dock workers might only take commands from certain team members and might only carry out certain tasks. Other humans in these situations will over time learn how these robots interact and will likely adapt to what can be expected from the robots and how to avoid interfering with their proper behavior.
