Many machines-from hydraulic excavators to mobile wheelchairs-are manually controlled by
a human operator. In practice, the operator assumes responsibility for completing a given …

Autonomous robots are capable of navigating on their own. Shared control approaches,
however, allow humans to make some navigation decisions. This is typically executed either …

Assisted wheelchair navigation is of key importance for persons with severe disabilities. The
problem has been solved in different ways, usually based on the shared control paradigm …

In this paper, we present the SHARE-it approach to the integration of agent technology with
other existing technologies to build specific intelligent and semi-autonomous assistive …

We propose a new shared control technique that takes into account the operator's intent to
quickly relinquish control to the operator in off-nominal conditions. Human-machine shared …

In nowadays ageing society, many people require assistance for mobility. In some cases,
assistive devices require a certain degree of autonomy when the person's disabilities difficult …

In this paper we investigate the control of leader-follower swarms with time-varying objective
functions and under balanced communication topologies. Motivated by shared control …

Expert operators of real world robots, especially constructions robots, develop expertise from
years of training and experience. In the absence of such experts, these robots are operated …
