Abstract: Seamless and close joint action with humans requires robots to act in a human-oriented and socially compatible way. The contribution of this dissertation is a holistic methodology to design interactive motor behaviors for robots. In a novel, interdisciplinary approach, modeling and control concepts, robotic prototypes and psychological experiments are co-designed for a profound investigation of the interaction. The successful application in representative scenarios of joint action coordination and physical cooperation evidences the value and potentials of the methodology.
