| Abstract | Collaborative control is a teleoperation system model based on human–robot dialogue. With this model, the robot asks questions to the human in order to obtain assistance with cognition and perception. This enables the human to function as a resource for the robot and help to compensate for limitations of autonomy. To understand how collaborative control influences human–robot interaction, we performed a user study based on contextual inquiry (CI). The study revealed that: (1) dialogue helps users understand problems encountered by the robot and (2) human assistance is a limited resource that must be carefully managed. |
