Abstract
We present preliminary results of a one degree of freedom (DOF) linear moving force augmenting device (FAD) with a force sensor for enhancing the lifting capabilities of a human user. We perform a stability test of the feedback loop formed by the device and a model of the human operator. It is shown that the operator lifts a small fraction of the total weight of the load. The proposed control scheme is illustrated using numerical simulations and an experiment.
