Due to the heavy burden on human drivers when remotely controlling hexapod robots in complex terrain environments, there is a critical need for robot intelligence to assist in generating control commands. Therefore, this study proposes a mapping process framework that generates a combination of human-robot commands based on decision target values, focusing on the task of robot intelligence assisting drivers in generating human-robot command combinations. Furthermore, human-robot state constraints are quantified as geometric constraints on robot motion and driver fatigue constraints. By optimizing and filtering the feasible set of human-robot commands based on human-robot state constraints, instruction combinations are formed and recommended to the driver in real-time, thereby enhancing the efficiency and safety of human-machine coordination. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, a remote human-robot collaborative driving control system based on wearable devices is designed and implemented. Experimental results demonstrate that drivers utilizing the human-robot command recommendation system exhibit significantly improved robot walking stability and reduced collision rates compared to individual driving.
