abstract = {There is considerable commercial interest in formation-maintenance tasks, where
 robots move together while maintaining a geometric shape. This interest is motivated by promise
 of robustly and efficiently moving multiple robots along a path chosen for them by a human  operator. This paper presents a comprehensive solution for this task, which includes: (i) a  novel method for fusing open- and closed- loop controllers, for robust formation-maintenance;  (ii) an ecological display, allowing a human operator to monitor and guide robots, while improving 
 their performance and reducing the failure rate; and (iii) a set of methods for interacting
 with the formation in the case of a disconnect in the formation. We evaluate
 each of these contributions in extensive experiments, including 25 human operators. We show
 significant improvements in performance (in terms of movement time), robustness (both in number
 of failures, as well as failure rate), and consistency between operators. },
