On the applicability of brain reading for predictive human-machine interfaces in robotics.

The ability of today's robots to autonomously support humans in their daily activities is still limited. To improve this, predictive human-machine interfaces (HMIs) can be applied to better support future interaction between human and machine. To infer upcoming context-based behavior relevant b...

description The ability of today's robots to autonomously support humans in their daily activities is still limited.
