Shared Autonomy in Web-based Human Robot Interaction

Abstract: In this paper, we aim to achieve a human-robot work balance by implementing shared autonomy through a web interface. Shared autonomy integrates user input with the autonomous capabilities of the robot and therefore increases the overall performance of the robot. Presenting only the relevant information to the user on the web page lowers the cognitive load of the operator. Through our web interface, we provide a mechanism for the operator to directly interact using the displayed information by applying a point-and-click paradigm. Further, we present our idea to employ a human-robot mutual adaptation in a shared autonomy setting through our web interface for effective team collaboration.
