Although prior team research has largely assumed human-human teaming, robots are fundamentally changing the nature of work, including teamwork. However, successfully onboarding robots in teams requires a far greater understanding than research currently provides. This symposium showcases five papers that inform the changing role of robots in team dynamics, marking a new frontier in team research. We bring together engineering psychologists, robotics experts, and organizational psychologists to offer an interdisciplinary approach to human-robot teaming. Therefore, this symposium features theoretical and empirical research grounded in modern robotics and designed with rich ecological validity in the lab, simulations, and field exercises.
