Shared autonomy in assistive mobile robots: a review

CONCLUSION: It was found that most prior studies have focussed on basic functionalities, thus paving the way for research to now focus on the higher levels of the ladder taxonomy. It was concluded that further research in the domain must focus on ensuring safety in mobility and adaptability to varying environments.Implications for rehabilitationShared autonomy in assistive mobile robots plays a vital role in effectively adapting to ensure safety while also considering the user comfort.User's immediate desires should be considered in decision making to ensure that the users are in control of the assistive robots.The current focus of research should be towards successful adaptation of the assistive mobile robots to varying environments to assure safety of the user.PMID:34133906 | DOI:10.1080/17483107.2021.1928778
