(1/2) Ever look at a car in front of you and be able to guess if the driver is lost or not. With Arunim Bhattacharya, we take this idea in rdcu.be/eFCP4 to see if prior knowledge and situational awareness can be estimated by observing the movement of a teleoperated robot.

Human prior knowledge estimation from movement cues for information-based control of mobile robots during search | ACM Transactions on Human-Robot Interaction
Robotic search often involves teleoperating vehicles into unknown environments. In
such scenarios, prior knowledge of target location or environmental map may be a viable
resource to tap into and cont...
