In conditional automation, the automated driving system assumes full control and only issues a takeover request to a human driver to resume driving in critical situations. Previous studies have concluded that the time budget required by…
Autonomous manipulation systems have achieved remarkable capabilities, yet the integration of human expertise with diffusion-based policies in shared control remains relatively unexplored. In this paper, we propose Human-In-The-Loop…
Shared autonomy methods, where a human operator and a robot arm work together, have enabled robots to complete a range of complex and highly variable tasks. Existing work primarily focuses on one human sharing autonomy with a single robot.…
In shared autonomy, user input and robot autonomy are combined to control a robot to achieve a goal. Often, the robot does not know a priori which goal the user wants to achieve, and must both predict the user's intended goal, and assist in…
A hybrid society is expected to emerge in the near future, with different mobilities interacting together, including cars, micro-mobilities, pedestrians, and robots. People may utilize multiple types of mobilities in their daily lives. As…
Shared steering control has been developed to reduce driver workload while keeping the driver in the control loop. A driver could integrate visual sensory information from the road ahead and haptic sensory information from the steering…
