Variable damping characteristics in carrying an object by two humans

Robots are expected to be human-friendly and to execute tasks cooperating with humans. Control system for the robots should be constructed so as to work adapting with human characteristics. In this paper, human characteristics in a cooperation task by two humans are analyzed and it is shown that the human performance can be expressed by a variable damping control.
