The robot system supports and moves the object in the direction of the intentional force applied to the object by the operator. We discuss how to generate the motion of the object based on the intentional force applied to the object by the human. We propose several algorithms to generate the motion based on the intentional force and experimentally compare them.","PeriodicalId":174564,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 6th IEEE International Workshop on Robot and Human Communication.

Inooka","doi":"10.1109/ROMAN.1997.646948","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ROMAN.1997.646948","url":null,"abstract":"The performance of golf clubs and balls is generally evaluated using a golf-swing robot that conventionally have two or three joints with completely interrelated motion. This interrelation allows the user of this robot to specify only the initial posture and swing velocity of the robot and thus, the swing motion of this type of robot cannot be subtly adjusted to the specific characteristics of individual golf clubs. Consequently, golf-swing robots cannot accurately emulate professional golfers and this causes serious problems for the evaluation of the performance of golf clubs. In the paper, a golf-swing robot that can adjust its motion to both, a specified value of swing velocity and the specific characteristics of individual golf clubs is investigated analytically.","PeriodicalId":174564,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 6th IEEE International Workshop on Robot and Human Communication.

Slater","doi":"10.1109/ROMAN.1997.646999","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ROMAN.1997.646999","url":null,"abstract":"This paper discusses some of the experiences of designing and using 3D displays encountered during a study which explored the suitability of such displays for air traffic control. Experiments were carried out to compare the performance of subjects using two 3D displays of air traffic and a 2D display. The results largely supported cognitive studies, for example regarding improvements in task performance resulting from greater depth perception due to stereopsis, and the difficulties caused by perceptual biases and ambiguities associated with 3D displays. However, evidence is found that air traffic control may not be an integrated task and so may not benefit from an integrated 3D display. These experiences show the need to consider the operator's task requirements in the choice and design of a display format, and that 3D displays have additional design parameters which can considerably complicate the design.","PeriodicalId":174564,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 6th IEEE International Workshop on Robot and Human Communication.

From the simulation and experimental results, it was proved that the method described can realize an online (real-time) control of a high-response servomechanism.","PeriodicalId":174564,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 6th IEEE International Workshop on Robot and Human Communication.
