SUMMARY:96. The Influence of Operator Trust on Human-Robot Interaction Wit
 hin Teams
DESCRIPTION:Poster\n\nHeidi Segars and Anne Collins McLaughlin (North Caro
 lina State University), Ericka Rovira (U.S. Military Academy at West Point
 ), and Susan Mohammed (Pennsylvania State University)\n\nUtilizing advance
 d machinery in team environments often necessitates reliance on a leader, 
 or “operator,” who is in charge of interfacing with technology directly on
  the team’s behalf. This is particularly evident in modern military missio
 ns, where teams depend on operators of robotic machinery to safely navigat
 e dangerous tasks or hazardous terrain. The present work is part of larger
  research on integrating Spot, a semi-autonomous quadruped robot from Bost
 on Dynamics, into cadets’ training exercises. This analysis focuses on how
  trust in an operator controlling Spot influenced different aspects of hum
 an-robot interaction (HRI) among the team. Operator trust was found to be 
 positively correlated with positive perceptions of the robot, trust in and
  reliance on the robot, and willingness to use the robot for future exerci
 ses. Improving operator trust, thereby shifting the focus to human-human i
 nteraction, may prove an effective avenue for bolstering confidence in rob
 otic systems and achieving overall positive outcomes.\n\nTrack: Aging, Aug
