Mobile robots can complete a task in cooperation with a human partner. In this paper, a hybrid shared control method for a mobile robot with omnidirectional wheels is proposed. A human partner utilizes a six degrees of freedom haptic device and electromyography (EMG) signals sensor to control the mobile robot. A hybrid shared control approach based on EMG and artificial potential field is exploited to avoid obstacles according to the repulsive force and attractive force and to enhance the human perception of the remote environment based on force feedback of the mobile platform. This shared control method enables the human partner to tele-control the mobile robot’s motion and achieve obstacles avoidance synchronously. Compared with conventional shared control methods, this proposed one provides a force feedback based on muscle activation and drives the human partners to update their control intention with predictability. Experimental results demonstrate the enhanced performance of the mobile robots in comparison with the methods in the literature.
