US Patent 11281208 Efficient teleoperation of mobile robots via online adaptation

Described herein is a framework for efficient task-agnostic, user-independent adaptive teleoperation of mobile robots and remotely operated vehicles (ROV), including ground vehicles (including legged systems), aircraft, watercraft and spacecraft. The efficiency of a human operator is improved by minimizing the entropy of the control inputs, thereby minimizing operator energy and achieving higher performance in the form of smoother trajectories by concurrently estimating the user intent online and adaptively updating the action set available to the human operator.
