Leader–Follower Dynamics in Complex Obstacle Avoidance Task

A question that many researchers in social robotics are addressing is how to create more human-like behaviour robots make the collaboration between a human and robot intuitive partner. In order develop collaborative robotic system, however, must first be better understood. Human something we all familiar with, however not much known about it from kinematic standpoint. One dynamic hasn’t been researched thoroughly, yet naturally occurs collaboration, for instance leader–follower dynamics. our previous study, tackled of role allocation dyads during reaching task, where results implied subjects who performed higher individual experiment would assume leader when physical collaboration. this build upon study by observing dynamics change task becomes complex. Here, was on one subject dyad faced with an additional obstacle avoidance performing 2D while their partner aware obstacle. We have found roles throughout complete successfully, looking at overall higher-performing will always dominate over lower-performing one, regardless whether they or not.
