  • Human operators intervened remotely via joystick to correct navigation errors.

    • Main Results:

    • Failures in autonomous navigation due to sensor errors were addressed by human intervention.
    • Both low-level and high-level interventions improved the robot's success rate.
    • High-level interventions, particularly those affecting the cognitive map, were especially effective.

    Conclusions:

    • Human intervention is crucial for enhancing autonomous robot navigation, especially in complex scenarios.
    • The consciousness-based architecture (CBA) demonstrates the potential for biologically inspired robot control.
    • Remote, high-level interventions offer a powerful method for improving robot performance and adaptability.
