Abstract
—The aim of this paper is to improve the optimality
and accuracy of techniques to guide a human in limited visibility
and auditory conditions such as in fire-fighting in warehouses
or similar environments. At present, breathing apparatus (BA)
wearing fire-fighters move in teams following walls. Due to
limited visibility and high noise in the oxygen masks, they
predominantly depend on haptic communication through reins.
An intelligent agent (man/machine) with full environment perceptual
capabilities is an alternative to enhance navigation in
such unfavorable environments, just like a dog guiding a blind
person. This paper proposes an optimal state-dependent control
policy to guide a follower with limited environmental perception,
by an intelligent and environmentally perceptive agent. Based on
experimental systems identification and numerical simulations on
human demonstrations from eight pairs of participants, we show
that the guiding agent and the follower experience learning for
a optimal stable state-dependent novel 3rd and 2nd order auto
regressive predictive and reactive control policies respectively.
Our findings provide a novel theoretical basis to design advanced
human-robot interaction algorithms in a variety of cases that
require the assistance of a robot to perceive the environment by
a human counterpart
