An intention estimation system (1) and method with confidence indication (Sc) for providing operation assistance based on an operator's intention ( lambda rd). A current operation performed by the operator is detected (30), and data related to an estimated intention of the operator is generated based on the detected operation. A confidence index of the estimated intention of the operator is then determined. The confidence index indicates, for example, the reliability or strength of the estimated intention.
