Many robot application fields can be further enhanced by a close, physical interaction of humans and robots. To enable this, intuitive haptic human-robot collaboration is one prerequisite. This dissertation contributes significantly to this field of research by introducing novel control methods for robot collaboration partners and by establishing means for their systematic evaluation. Thereby, the focus is broadened from providing performance-optimized assistance during task execution to the integration of human-like characteristics into the robot’s interaction behavior.
