Researchers have demonstrated how game theory can be adapted to enable a robot to better understand and understand human behaviour in order to safely and efficiently assist them . A team from the University of Sussex , Imperial ##tech London and Nanyang Technological University in Singapore had to train the robot to understand the human user 's control and adapt its own control in response . It can then anticipate and adapt the human ’s action , helping them perform tasks . One potential application for the technology , as suggested by the researchers , is for assisting a stroke survivor regain motor control .
Researchers have demonstrated how game theory can be adapted to enable a robot to better understand and anticipate human behaviour in order to safely and efficiently assist them. A team from the University of Sussex, Imperial College London and Nanyang Technological University in Singapore had to train the robot to understand the human user's control and adapt its own control in response. It can then anticipate and complement the human’s action, helping them perform tasks. One potential use for the technology, as suggested by the researchers, is for assisting a stroke survivor regain motor control.
