AssistMATE™ is a virtual assistant that helps maximize human operator performance or readiness in a variety of tasks, such as helping an astronaut navigate a critical procedure, or coaching a single operator to simultaneously manage a swarm of unmanned systems. A force multiplier, AssistMATE™ provides a natural interface for human operators to make easier work of complex systems, utilizing multi-modal dialogue to include not only speech, but gesture and even facial expressions. AssistMATE™ reasons and interacts — just like a human — instilling confidence and trust among team members, bringing simplicity to complicated systems.
