Abstract :
In this paper we describe our prototyping environment to study concepts for empowering a single user to control robotic multi-agent systems. We investigate and validate these concepts by experiments with a fleet of hovering robots. Specifically, we report on a first experiment in which one robot is equipped with an RGB-D sensor through which the user is enabled to directly interact with a multi-agent system without the need to carry any device.
