A requirement for human friendly robot had increased dramatically with the demand of assistive robotic having direct interaction with human. We were aiming at generating a smooth and natural cooperative transfers performed by a human-robot system. Prior to the development of such system, characteristics for smooth and natural cooperative object transfer in a human-human system were investigated. Specifically,...
When a human manipulates an object with a power assist robot, the human feels a scaled-down effect of the load and the forces required to manipulate the object also reduce. We determined in our previous research that the power assist robot reduces the weight of the lifted object to 40% of its actual weight. However, the root cause of reduced heaviness of objects manipulated with power assist robots...
Humans frequently need to lower heavy objects for various purposes. We assume that suitable human-robot systems such as power assist systems may be comfortably used to lower heavy objects/materials. However, most of the currently available power assist devices are designed for rehabilitation and health care purposes, and hence the development of suitable power assist devices for lowering heavy objects...
