In this paper, we describe an ongoing exploratory study investigating human mental models of tactical robot movement under different combinations of mission commands, constraints, and environmental features. In particular, we are assessing the relationship between participants’ mental models of robot form and their expectations for robot movement. The results of this study will inform the design of future experimentation with a soldier population and the design of tactical robot movement behaviors. Due to data collection being in its early stages, findings will be presented at the 2015 HFES Annual Meeting.
