Experimental study of collaborater in human–machine system

A human intervention is essential for human–machine system and human operator’s skill affects deeply achievement of the control purpose. By keeping the human operation easy, an operator can concentrate on more advanced decision so that the operation performance is improved. In this paper, a new concept of human-oriented compensator is proposed for improving the human–machine system, which is named “collaborater”. The design approach exists in human dynamics, and 2DOF structure is introduced. The simulation results confirm that the time and frequency responses are improved. Moreover the experimental results also confirm the similar effect of proposed method.
