A Testing System Designed for Multi-human Cooperative Transportation

The phenomenon of collaborative transport of humans is a common occurrence. One attractive feature of this collaborative transport system is its ability to adapt to load changes and fault tolerance. However, the underlying principles of this phenomenon remain to be fully elucidated. To this end, this paper presents a system comprising a load platform and a small ground vehicle, designed to collect data during the operation of a collaborative transport of humans. Four force sensors are installed at the four corners of the load platform, with the objective of recording the force data generated by humans. The small ground vehicle on the ground serves as the target for tracking by the load platform. Experiments are conducted to demonstrate the efficacy of the designed system.
