Development Approaches To Intuitive, SSD & Haptics Integrated HRI & Social HRI systems for Assisting Space Exploration

Unprecedented level of autonomy and highly efficient interpersonal communications amongst crewmembers are compulsorily norms for astronauts in all LDSE missions, again testing the psycho-emotional limits for the astronauts. The present communication reviews & outlines the role of social robots and HRI, and the recent advances in haptics and gesture-controlled systems, as well as their unique effectiveness and interventions in increasing the effectiveness of future LDSE missions. Multimodal Media Systems are used for Human Robot Interactions (HRI), including, facial & hand movements, speech, sounds, AV clips, physical touch and haptics. Various systems have been explored and evaluated, including ESAS, AAR, CIMON, PSA, Haptics and joystick modules and others. An HRI system needs to be developed ensuring all prerequisites of standardizes interactions including multi-spacial ranges, interaction architecture (task manager, interaction manager, resource manager, dialogue agent and robot agents), and constrained interfaces. Social HRI (sHRI) offers a fast evolving field and extensive work is being done on SSD, DSSD, multimodal systems, novel gesture control systems, humanoids and other options. The fast integration of sHRI with LDSE will definitely aid in advancing the efficacy of such missions.
