We address the problem of (a) predicting the trajectory of an arm reaching motion, based on a few seconds of the motion’s onset, and (b) leveraging this predictor to facilitate shared-control manipulation tasks, by reducing the operator’s cognitive load through assistance in their anticipated direction of motion. Our novel intent estimator, dubbed the Robot Trajectron (RT), produces a probabilisti...
