摘要
Assistive agents in shared-control settings face a dual challenge: acting proactively to align with the human's intentions while remaining legible enough for the human to comprehend and fluently respond in real time. We present Dream2Assist, a model-based reinforcement learning framework for tightly-coupled shared decision making that addresses both sides of this challenge. Our approach extends a recurrent state-space world model with intent inference, enabling an assistive policy trained via fictitious co-play to anticipate and support discrete human objectives without overriding human agency. Beyond the computational framework, we describe the full deployment pipeline needed to translate a world-model-based policy into a safe, human-centered system in a resource-efficient way. Crucially, we address the sim-to-real-human gap via policy down-selection and reward restructuring within an iterative human-machine interface design. We validate the framework through three human-subjects studies and a preliminary on-vehicle deployment spanning two qualitatively distinct domains: high-speed racing (N=30) and urban driving with richer intent structure (N=10). Our results demonstrate that intent conditioning yields measurable improvements in torque alignment and collision rate. We surface key design insights and practices for deploying learning-based assistive agents in safety-critical, real-time human-robot teaming.
