Abstract The exploits of Martina Navratilova and Roger Federer represent the pinnacle of
motor learning. However, when considering the range and complexity of the processes that …

When two or more people coordinate their actions in space and time to produce a joint
outcome, they perform a joint action. The perceptual, cognitive, and motor processes that …

In spite of the remarkable progress made in the burgeoning field of social neuroscience, the
neural mechanisms that underlie social encounters are only beginning to be studied and …

The last decades have seen a surge of robots working in contact with humans. However,
until now these contact robots have made little use of the opportunities offered by physical …

While motor interaction between a robot and a human, or between humans, has important
implications for society as well as promising applications, little research has been devoted to …

People often perform actions that involve a direct physical coupling with another person,
such as when moving furniture together. Here, we examined how people successfully …

In this paper, we propose a framework to analyze the interactive behaviors of humans and
robots in physical interactions. Game theory is employed to describe the system under study …

Although learning a motor skill, such as a tennis stroke, feels like a unitary experience,
researchers who study motor control and learning break the processes involved into a …

This paper is concerned with the modelling of strategic interactions between the human
driver and the vehicle active front steering (AFS) controller in a path-following task where the …

The notion of symbiosis has been increasingly mentioned in research on physically coupled
human-machine systems. Yet, a uniform specification on which aspects constitute human …
