Learning User Habits for Semi-Autonomous Navigation Using Low Throughput Interfaces

Conference Papers

Abstract

This paper presents a semi-autonomous navigation strategy aimed at the control of assistive devices (e.g. intelligent wheelchair) using low throughput interfaces. A mobile robot proposes the most probable action, as analyzed from the environment, to a human user who can either accept or reject the proposition. In case of rejection, the robot will propose another action, until both entities agree on what needs to be done. In a known environment, the system infers the intended goal destination based on the first executed actions. Furthermore, we endowed the system with learning capabilities, so as to learn the user habits depending on contextual information (e.g. time of the day or a phone rings). This additional knowledge allows the robot to anticipate the user intention and propose appropriate actions, or goal destinations.

User interface

In the industrial design field of human–computer interaction, a user interface (UI) is the space where interactions between humans and machines occur. The goal of this interaction is to allow effective operation and control of the machine from the human end, while the machine simultaneously feeds back information that aids the operators' decision-making process. Examples of this broad concept of user interfaces include the interactive aspects of computer operating systems, hand tools, heavy machinery operator controls and process controls.

Vehicular automation

Vehicular automation involves the use of mechatronics, artificial intelligence, and multi-agent systems to assist the operator of a vehicle (car, aircraft, watercraft, or otherwise). These features and the vehicles employing them may be labeled as intelligent or smart. A vehicle using automation for difficult tasks, especially navigation, to ease but not entirely replace human input, may be referred to as semi-autonomous, whereas a vehicle relying solely on automation is called robotic or autonomous.

Human–computer interaction

Human–computer interaction (HCI) is research in the design and the use of computer technology, which focuses on the interfaces between people (users) and computers. HCI researchers observe the ways humans interact with computers and design technologies that allow humans to interact with computers in novel ways. A device that allows interaction between human being and a computer is known as a "Human-computer Interface (HCI)".
