Human-agent-robot teamwork (HART) denotes the task and resource coordination framework for executing a requested task in a collaborative setting, in which human mobile device transfers the task request and receives the task result from collaborative machines (robot/cloud agent) after processing. Whereas, the robot and cloud agent process the physical (movement towards task location and image capturing using camera) and cognitive sub-task (face detection from captured image), respectively. Note that, in this work the robot uploads the physical sub-task output data size (input of cognitive sub-task) to cloud agent for processing. Hence, the cloud server/agent transfers the processed cognitive sub-task results to human MU’s device after processing.

Abstract
To facilitate making the human-machine co-activity-based human-agent-robot teamwork (HART) task execution process more efficient, this chapter first discusses related work and open challenges for latency-sensitive HART task. To speed up the HART task execution, this chapter next presents a latency sensitive HART task migration scheme for efficiently orchestrating tasks among human mobile users (MUs), central and decentralized computational agents (cloud/cloudlets), and robots across converged FiWi network infrastructures. Moreover, this chapter describes a bandwidth allocation scheme that allocates timeslots to MUs' broadband and task migration traffic at the same time. Furthermore, this chapter presents performance evaluation results of the proposed scheme. Importantly, this chapter compares the performance of the proposed task migration scheme with traditional schemes. This chapter is finally concluded by summarizing important findings and outlining open research issues for HART task coordination over FiWi-enhanced tactile internet infrastructures.
