Interaction Patterns for Cooperative movement with vehicles

Interaction Patterns for Cooperative movement with vehicles

Why do we move? The walk to the supermarket, visiting the family and friends, dancing in a club or a sprint on the tartan track. We subsist and convert the respective energy in kinetic energy to move. The way how we move in order to efficiently reach our target is learned as we grow up and is stored in form of patterns. Patterns are proven solutions to repeating problems. When moving cooperatively, e.g. with other humans or with a horse, such patterns become interaction patterns for cooperative movement. This paper will present the concept of Interaction Patterns for cooperative movement and show how these patterns can be used with vehicles that (will) have more and more autonomous functionalities and become worthy to cooperate with.
