ABSTRACT
SUMMARY Human adaptive mechatronics is related to human-machine system design and targeted to enhance the overall human-machine performance through the interactive communication and decision making between humans and machines. An important issue in this field is the identification of a human operator model when the operator is in the loop to conduct some control task. Manual control systems have laid a solid foundation for the process of human operator modeling. In this chapter, a quasi-linear model and crossover model are reviewed first. A nonparametric frequency response model and parametric transfer function model are obtained in an experiment of compensatory tracking. This can be regarded as a frequency domain approach. Modern control theory can be adopted to carry out modeling in the time domain. The optimal control model and its modification are discussed in detail. The identifiability problem is also treated.
