Research project We are studying how robots and autonomous vehicles can better understand the environment we live in, thus enabling a system to resolve mismatches between how the system sees the world - and how the user sees it. The goal is to develop a set of strategies to resolve errors and ambiguities in interactions for a range of scenarios.
As household robots, self-driving vehicles and smart apps on our mobile phones are now being more widely introduced, they will soon become part of our everyday lives. However, their progress will depend on both how well the systems work and on the extent to which we humans trust and want to cooperate with them.
In the new research project, "Strategies for autonomous systems to resolve ambiguities in human-system interaction", which is funded with SEK 3 700 000 by The Swedish Research Council, we aim to study how robots and autonomous vehicles can better understand the environment we live in. We seek to enable a system to resolve mismatches between how the system sees the world – and how the user sees it. The goal is to develop a set of strategies to resolve errors and ambiguities in interactions for certain scenarios.
