• Authors: Alexander Broad, Ian Abraham, Todd Murphey, Brenna Argall
• Abstract summary: We present a data-driven shared control algorithm that can be used to improve a human operator's control of complex machines. Both the dynamics and information about the user's interaction are learned from observation through the use of a Koopman operator. We find that model-based shared control significantly improves task and control metrics when compared to a natural learning, or user only, control paradigm.

• Abstract: We present a data-driven shared control algorithm that can be used to improve a human operator's control of complex dynamic machines and achieve tasks that would otherwise be challenging, or impossible, for the user on their own. Our method assumes no a priori knowledge of the system dynamics. Instead, both the dynamics and information about the user's interaction are learned from observation through the use of a Koopman operator. Using the learned model, we define an optimization problem to compute the autonomous partner's control policy. Finally, we dynamically allocate control authority to each partner based on a comparison of the user input and the autonomously generated control. We refer to this idea as model-based shared control (MbSC). We evaluate the efficacy of our approach with two human subjects studies consisting of 32 total participants (16 subjects in each study). The first study imposes a linear constraint on the modeling and autonomous policy generation algorithms. The second study explores the more general, nonlinear variant. Overall, we find that model-based shared control significantly improves task and control metrics when compared to a natural learning, or user only, control paradigm. Our experiments suggest that models learned via the Koopman operator generalize across users, indicating that it is not necessary to collect data from each individual user before providing assistance with MbSC. We also demonstrate the data-efficiency of MbSC and consequently, it's usefulness in online learning paradigms. Finally, we find that the nonlinear variant has a greater impact on a user's ability to successfully achieve a defined task than the linear variant.

  We show that due to the greedy nature of learning in deep neural networks, models tend to rely on just one modality while under-fitting the other modalities. We propose an algorithm to balance the conditional learning speeds between modalities during training and demonstrate that it indeed addresses the issue of greedy learning.

  We take a hybrid approach, combining model predictive control (MPC) with a learned model and model-free policy learning. We find that well-tuned model-free agents are strong baselines even for high DoF control problems. We show that it is possible to distil a model-based planner into a policy that amortizes the planning without any loss of performance.
