Abstract

Which criteria determine the formation of rest-to-rest arm movements when interacting with virtual mass-damper dynamics? A novel bilevel optimization approach is used to find the optimal linear combination of common optimization criteria for human trajectory formation such that the resulting trajectory comes closest to the human-performed one. The goal is to utilize this optimal combination to predict human motions in robot control. Experimental results show that subject-dependent criteria combinations can be found for different dynamics.
