Boosting human force: A robotic enhancement of a human operator's force
نویسندگان
چکیده
For a human operator, lifting and carrying a load can be a hazardous task with significant health-related risks. The collaboration between the human operator and a robotic device can provide an effective solution. This study proposes a control design for the robot such that it merely amplifies the force the human operator applies to the load. The algorithm is of a cyclic nature, where each cycle is subdivided into two stages. The first phase is the estimation of the human force, since the only connection between the robot and the human is via the load. In the second phase, the scaled force is applied to the load. The proposed approach is illustrated by means of simulation results for a two-link robot manipulator.

Investigation for an Approach to Optimise the Structure of Human Force
Abstract This paper proposes an approach to find an optimum structure for educational levels of human forces. To this end, a Linear Programming (LP) Model integrated with a Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) was employed. The integrated model was employed using the SAM of Golestan Province of Iran. It was demonstrated that when unemployment is the result of inconsistency between supply and demand...

متن کاملModeling of Air Relative Humidity Effect on Adhesion Force in Manipulation of Nano-Particles and its Application in AFM
In this paper, the effect of air relative humidity and capillary force on contact geometry of surfaces based on JKR model by Atomic force microscopy was investigated in order to manipulate nano-particles. With transition from macro to nano-scale, the effect of surface forces becomes more significant in comparison with inertial force. Because contact mechanics models are based on surface energy ...
