Abstract

Assistive robotics HRI has a number of important characteristics that distinguishes it from other forms of HRI. This includes the need for both high flexibility, safety and reliability in controlling the robotic system. Approaching the system as a human-robot binomial, with the user and the robot acting in a closed-loop, may be beneficial to understanding and improving the interaction. This paper investigates the feasibility of modeling and quantifying assistive robotics HRI inside such a human-robot binomial using concepts from Information Theory.
