“…Alternatively, animals support and supplement human work via their unique skills and capabilities. In drug or explosives detection (Schoon, Heiman, Bach, Berntsen, & Fast, 2022), for instance, dogs complete tasks too challenging, unsafe, or simply impossible for humans to carry out alone.…”

“…For instance, research laboratories that employ medical-detection dogs report high rates of accuracy in rapidly detecting diseases such as cancer and COVID-19 (Juge, Foster, & Daigle, 2022). In nongovernmental organizations and the military, mine-detection dogs provide effective means to locate the presence of explosives (Schoon et al, 2022). Therapists who employ therapy animals report stronger connection, trust, and engagement with their clients and thus garner better therapeutic outcomes (Brazier, 2014;Dell & Poole, 2015;Flynn, Zoller, Gandenberger, & Morris, 2022;Mercer, Williams Davies, Cook, & Bowes, 2022); elderly dementia patients report improved physical health and reduced neuropsychiatric symptoms (Tournier, Vives, & Postal, 2017); clinically depressed patients, a reduction in anxiety and depressive symptoms (Pedersen, Nordaunet, Martinsen, Berget, & Braastad, 2011); veterans, a decline in PTSD symptoms (Nieforth, Rodriguez, & O'Haire, 2022); and children on the autism spectrum, greater behavioral benefits (Sams, Fortney, & Willenbring, 2006).…”

Employees interact with animals in a myriad of ways in the context of work. Herein, we seek to catalog this multiplex phenomenon in order to gain theoretical insights. Our article unfolds in four parts. First, we conduct an interdisciplinary review from which we develop a typology of four employee-animal interactions: working for, with, around, and on animals. Second, we outline the current research for each discrete category. Third, we consider key divergent experiences (e.g., the uniquely gendered nature of each) and convergent themes (e.g., all animal work is emotional and hierarchical) across the typology. Fourth, we supplement our review with two metasyntheses of other workplace team interactions—employee-employee and employee-machine/artificial intelligence interactions—to highlight how the study of human-animal interactions can address current conundrums in the organizational domain. We do so to demonstrate that considerations of employee-animal interactions can offer theoretical value to scholars, including those who may not have an inherent interest in the phenomenon. We complement theoretical extensions with suggestions for future research on core management topics, including humanizing workplaces, the future of work, and team collaboration.

“…These are solutions based on modern information, communication, and robotics technologies, as well as traditional methods that use biological component -trained animals (dogs, rats, etc.) working under the guidance of qualified instructors [8][9][10]. In many cases, it is impossible to achieve the goal of demining without traditional bioinformatics technologies for detecting EO.…”

The subject of this study is systems for detection and identification (D&I) of explosive ordnance (EO). The aim of this study is to develop a concept, general structure, and models of a robotic-biological system for D&I of EO (RBS-D&I). The objectives are as follows: 1) to classify mobile systems for D&I of EO and suggest a concept of RBS-D&I; 2) to develop the general structure of RBS-D&I consisting of robotic (flying and ground) and biological subsystems; 3) to develop models of RBS-D&I including automaton, hierarchical, and operational ones; 4) to describe tasks and planned results of the article-related scientific project; and 5) to discuss research results. The following results were obtained. 1) The general structure of the RBS-D&I. The structure comprises the following levels: control and processing centres (mobile ground control and processing centre (MGCPC) and virtual control and processing centre); forces for detection and identification (fleet of unmanned aerial vehicles (FoU), biological detection information subsystem (BDIS), and robotic detection information subsystem (RDIS)); interference; natural covers and a bedding surface; and target objects (all munitions containing explosives, nuclear fission or fusion materials and biological and chemical agents). 2) A concept of RBS-D&I. The concept is based on RBS-D&I description, analysis, development, and operation as an integrated complex cyber-physical and cyber-biological system running in changing physical and information environments. 3) The RBS-D&I automata model. The model describes RBS-D&I operating in two modes. In mode 1, FoU and BDIS operate separately and interact through the MGCPC only. In mode 2, depending on the specifics of the tasks performed, FoU and RDIS can directly interact among themselves or through the MGCPC. 4) hierarchical model. The model has two sets of vertices: EO detection and platforms equipped with the necessary sensors. 5) An operational cycle model. The model describes land release operations via a methodology of functional modeling and graphic description of IDEF0 processes. Conclusions. The proposed concept and RBS-D&I solutions can provide high-performance and guaranteed EO detection in designated areas by the implementation of an intelligent platform and tools for planning the use of multifunctional fleets of UAVs and other RBS-D&I subsystems.
