This unilateral interaction does not leverage the robot’s autonomy and imposes cognitive and physical loads on the human operator. Conversely, if the robot’s strengths such as local sensing and accurate, fast execution capabilities are fully utilized, the human’s control effort can be reduced while simultaneously increasing task efficiency and performance. Therefore, shared control between a human and a robot is essential to develop an advanced teleoperation system. However, designing shared control for teleoperation TI - Editorial: Shared Control for Tele-Operation Systems JF - Frontiers in Robotics and AI DO - 10.3389/frobt.2022.915187 DA - 2022-04-27 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/pubmed-central/editorial-shared-control-for-tele-operation-systems-Az1hrI1zk0 VL - 9 IS - DP - DeepDyve ER -
