Method for operating a technical system that moves in an environment, with assignment of steering quality levels

A method for operating a technical system in an environment, wherein the technical system can be moved, as a whole or in parts, in the environment by a motor, wherein a person controls movements of the technical system in the environment at least temporarily, wherein the technical system has a steering assistance system which comprises the following steps performed by the steering assistance system:

• a) observing the environment using sensors and, depending on the observed environment, determining reference movement courses for the technical system for future time intervals;
• b) registering movement courses of the technical system actually controlled by the person in the time intervals;
• c) carrying out a comparison between the reference movement courses and the movement courses actually controlled;
• and
• d) depending on the comparison result, assigning one of a plurality of steering quality levels to the person;
• wherein in step c) the steering assistance system determines at least one current deviation parameter from the comparison between the reference movement courses and the movement courses actually controlled, and wherein in step d) the steering quality level for the person is determined depending on the at least one current deviation parameter;
• wherein in step a), when determining the reference movement course, a confidence level of the reference movement course is also determined, and wherein, when determining the at least one current deviation parameter, a weighting of deviations of the actual movement course from the reference movement course is carried out depending on the confidence level, with deviations being weighted less at lower confidence levels than at higher confidence levels.
