Abstract—This paper proposes a method for the autonomous decentralized coordination of an industrial cooperative robot and a passive balancer. We first compared the coordination of an assist device and a human with the coordination of an assist device and a cooperative robot. This showed that there was a difference between the cooperation with a human and that with a cooperative robot in terms of vibration during operation. We confirmed that the vibration phenomenon, which did not occur in the case of human cooperation, was observed in the case of cooperation with a cooperative robot.
