A Unified Approach to 3 Basic Challenges in Shared Autonomy
This work addresses key technical problems for developers and users of shared autonomy systems, but appears incremental as it builds on existing concepts without claiming major breakthroughs.
The paper tackles three challenges in shared autonomy: unreliable networks, modeling individual human operators, and integrating sliding autonomy, proposing a unified approach to address them.
We discuss some of the challenges facing shared autonomy. In particular, we explore 1) shared autonomy over unreliable networks, 2) how we can model individual human operators (in contrast to the average of a human operator), and 3) how our approach naturally models and integrates sliding autonomy into the joint human-machine system. We include a Background Section for completeness.
