Abstract
This paper presents design methods of a fuzzy controller and an operator model for a wire-driven heavy material lifting system helping human workers. The wire-driven heavy material lifting system is a kind of human-assistive systems in which a human is involved in the control loop. Thus, human's control characteristics and requirement of reducing worker's force to lift a heavy material are considered in the design process of the proposed fuzzy controller. An automatic weight measurement algorithm during the early stage of lifting is also introduced. Finally, the effectiveness and performance of the proposed system are proved by experiments.
