Abstract. Using the example of a transport-oriented mobile robotic system, this paper explores research directions aimed at establishing symbiotic relationships between humans and robots based on artificial intelligence technologies within the «Human-in-the-Loop» concept. One of the proposed approaches focuses on enabling the robot's control system to simulate abilities such as intuition, non-verbal communication, and awareness of its own dimensions and technical condition, which are characteristic of higher-order animals.

Key words: robotic system control, «Human-in-the-Loop» concept, artificial intelligence technology, intuitive interaction, environmental adaptability, non-verbal communication
