Culture and Human-Robot Interaction in Militarized Spaces: A War Story

By Julie Carpenter

Based on exploratory research investigating interactions between Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) personnel and the robots they use, this study richly describes the nuances of these reciprocal influences, especially those related to operator emotion associated with the robots. In particular, this book examines the activities, processes and contexts that influence or constrain everyday EOD human-robot interactions, what human factors are shaping the (robotic) technology and how people and culture are being changed by using it.
