What Does Shared Control Mean?
Shared control is a system that uses both user control and an automation component. Human users interact with automated entities such as robots and artificial intelligence to work together to achieve a common goal. Unlike semi-automated systems that actually require human input or intervention, meaning the human still controls the actions or programming of the automatons, in a shared control system, the human and the robot or AI act as peers and can act independently from each other.
Techopedia Explains Shared Control
Shared control, where a human controller shares control of an automated system with an automatic controller such as an AI, is considered a new paradigm in systems control engineering. They share control of the system with the human retaining manual control when required. The human controller may manually control the system while the automatic controller provides information and feedback that the human can then use, otherwise it can even apply full control to the system.
