During collaborative object manipulation, the physical coupling of the interaction partners allows for the retrieval of information on the object state and to communicate intention. This thesis investigates collaborative object transport as an example for kinematic manipulation and collaborative energy injection into flexible objects as an example for dynamic manipulation. By combining insights gained from physical human-human collaboration studies with system theoretic approaches, controllers for physical human robot collaboration are synthesized.
