Riassunto
Humans often work together on common tasks, such as lifting and positioning long
boards, or moving heavy objects.
The cooperation process includes a complex communication between human-beings
through their sensorial channels.
Most robot controllers for human-robot interaction try to stabilize the system and
while the user manipulates the object, the robot plays a passive role.
If we could understand the human-human physical interaction better, a robot might
be able to interact with humans more efficiently and smoothly. The robot could understand
the user’s commands following the implicit human-human communication
standards and become an active member during task execution.
Kinesthetic interaction is investigated in a simple lifting and moving task using a
virtual environment and a haptic interface as tools for our experimental research.
