Teamwork Assistance based on Concern For Others

Abstract

This paper proposes a real time objective Human-Human teamwork assist method with physical interaction. In this research, in order to evaluate and assist teamwork objectively in real time, we focused on changes in the input command that occur when cooperate with others and defined changes in the amount of input command as CFO. CFO can be estimated by input command in real time. CFO is estimated by learning the input command during the solo task using Neural Network and comparing with the input command during the cooperative task. This paper proposed an assist system with force feedback for teamwork assist using CFO. Then, in order to verify the proposed assist is effective, experiment performed to higher teamwork pairs and lower teamwork pairs on w/o assist and w/ assist. The experimental results suggested on higher teamwork pairs marginally significant difference to mean square error by the assist. The results suggest that real time teamwork assistance by CFO is possible.
