Abstract
There has been very little research on multiple human users interacting with multiple autonomous robots. In this paper we present some of the requirements of such user interaction. We present a prototype architecture for collaborative interaction. This architecture is put into the context of multiple space robots monitoring a space structure to assist human crew members.
