Variable Autonomy > 15 % - Request Approval < 5 % - Just do it 5<X<15% - Do it and inform 9 2012-03-19

Variable Autonomy > 15 % - Request Approval Human operator is < 5 % - Just do it responsible and always in control !!!!! 5<X<15% - Do it and inform 10 2012-03-19

Agents Can learn Can be tasked Can sense Can delegate Can report Can form teams 11 2012-03-19
