Abstract

Human-machine cooperation (HMC) is often still rigid and unintuitive. However, with more ability transferred to machines, the need for intuitive cooperation rises. To achieve this, new concepts need to arise and be implemented for machines to get a better understanding of their cooperation partner and to be able to act as expected. This includes adapted cooperation schemes based on actual dimension of control, e.g. conscious or subconscious HMC. In this paper, we give an overview on a generic architecture designed to achieve intuitive HMC and introduction to an example application.
