Researchers, Justin Horowitz and James Patton undertook the work under a National Institutes of Health Grant, as described in "I Meant to Do That: Determining the Intentions of Action in the Face of Disturbances" in the journal PLOS ONE. The idea was to help robots help humans — by taking the steering wheel when a driver makes a bad decision, or perhaps activating an exoskeleton when a patient with a weak arm reaches for an object.
