Abstract
A method for open-loop and closed-loop control of a device having a movement module, in terms of its interaction with a human, is based on an energy-based control process that makes it possible to monitor the amount of an overall energy in the system including the device and the human in dependence on a measured control variable describing the speed at which the device or its movement module moves. The method considers the entire power cycle, in particular the dynamics of the energy or power flow, in the system including the device and the human and takes into account the performance of the human during the closed-loop control. The method also enables the participation state of the human who is using the device to be determined in an iterative learning process without additional sensors. A device for carrying out the method is also provided.
