Towards A Multidimensional Perspective on Shared Autonomy

Shared Autonomy in the traditional sense focuses on the degree of user intervention in the control of artificial systems. We propose to broaden this notion to allow for more interactive scenarios. This requires a shift away from the single system perspective towards the interaction, the participating agents and the cooperation as such. Such a view on the interaction of autonomous agents has to be based on a more fine-grained understanding. Therefore, we extend a differentiation of autonomy into three different levels to interactive tasks as a starting point for a multidimensional perspective on shared autonomy. In particular, we want to point out how this allows for flexible interaction patterns and the negotiation of changing roles in ongoing cooperation.
