Abstract
This study examines how mobile robotic platforms can be used to provide decision support to expert geoscientists making sampling decisions under conditions of uncertainty. Based on empirical data collected at the American Geophysical Union meeting, we identify how experts constrain decisions with heuristics and how robot “nudges” can improve decision-making.
