Probabilistic Combination of Heuristic Behaviors for Shared Assistive Robot Control

Technology in general is developed to improve the lives of their users, often by allowing them to handle individual struggles. Assistive robotics takes this concept to its extreme by (re-) enabling users to physically interact with their environment in their daily life. For a successful utilization however, a user interface is required that allows for easy and quick interaction. Based on the promising concept of Adaptive Degree of Freedom (DoF) Control, this paper presents a novel heuristic implementation of the underlying principle, without relying on learning user actions.
