Recently, the importance of mechanical transparency in human-assistive robots has grown. Traditionally, its primary goal was minimizing interaction forces during assistance. However, under this conventional definition, mechanical transparency was not considered when an interaction force was required during assistance. This research focuses on achieving mechanical transparency within the context of...
