Abstract

Adjustable Autonomy (AA) is the name given to a variety of approaches to the task of giving outside entities the ability to change the level of autonomy of agents in an autonomous system. The idea presented in this paper is to leverage the flexibility and robustness of agent teams to develop flexible and safe AA mechanisms.We argue that the fundamental properties of teamwork are very useful for providing the robustness to change and flexibility that an implementation of AA requires.We present the EASE system which leverages teamwork as the basis for a powerful and robust AA system for intelligent actors in interactive simulation environments.
