The use of GameBots will allow multiple users to interact with robots and agents at different levels of adjustable or dynamic autonomy. By interacting with the robots as another team member, the users take on different roles to suit the situation: supervisor, peer, mechanic, teleoperator, and spectator.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2003/241","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2003/0241.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2003/241.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2003/bibtex/241","volume":{"slug":"2003","title":"Proceedings of the Eighteenth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 2003","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2003/","year":2003,"location":"Acapulco, Mexico","dates":"","editors":"Georg Gottlob","isbn":"","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence","doi_prefix":""},"section":null,"track":"","number":241,"pages":{"first":1473,"last":1473},"keywords":[],"videos":[],"references":[],"license_note":"Copyright International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence."}
