Abstract: A method for controlling at least one autonomous device which is one of at least two agents that cooperatively perform a common task in a common environment is provided. The method comprises: obtaining variables on a current state of each agent in the common environment, and obtaining a further variable on a current state of the common environment that describes a distance of the current state of the agents to a common goal state or a task success; determining a quantitative measure for cooperative behaviour of the agents that quantifies an extent to which a mutual support or an adaption in joint cooperative actions towards the common goal state increases a joint action space of the agents; optimizing a joint behaviour of the agents using the quantitative measure based on the obtained variables to determine an action of the autonomous device; and outputting a control signal for controlling the action.

Abstract: A method for assisting operation of an ego-vehicle in addressing a dynamic environment in which at least one further traffic object is present, an assistance system and a vehicle are provided. Information on the presence of the at least one other traffic object in the environment of the ego-vehicle is obtained. Then, information whether the other traffic participant has detected the ego-vehicle is obtained. Based on this information, a signal including information about whether the other traffic participant has detected the ego-vehicle is generated and supplied to an output device. An output signal is output based on the information whether the other traffic participant has detected the ego-vehicle, such that a parameter of the output signal is indicative of a detection probability of the detection of the ego-vehicle by the other traffic participant, an elapsed time since the detection and/or a complexity of the dynamic environment.

Abstract: The invention assists a person in acting in a dynamic environment. A method and a system for assisting a person operating an ego-vehicle a person supporting the operation of the ego-vehicle in a dynamic environment such as a traffic environment is proposed. The method encompasses determining a gaze direction of the person and identifying a target object based thereon, generating prediction information predicting a future behavior of the target object and the ego-vehicle, estimating a time-to-event or a distance or a distance variation for the ego-vehicle and the target object and generating a signal for driving an actuator and indicative of the estimated time-to-event, distance or distance variation. The actuator causes a stimulation being perceivable by the person by its perceptual capabilities based on the generated signal. The method determines whether assistance for assessing the dynamic situation is requested, for example by monitoring a gaze behavior of the person.
