Recently, the use of robots to serve food in restaurants and other similar venues has become more common due to labor shortages. In addition, the use of humanoid two-armed robots to share tools and collaborate with humans has been considered. In our previous study, the use of a two-armed robot fixed on the floor to manipulate a ball on a plate has been investigated. However, as mentioned above, the inertial forces acting on the ball are controlled when the robot is moving. Therefore, this study focuses on the effect of inertial forces on the manipulation of balls on a plate. Using a lightweight two-armed robot that can be mounted on a small AMR, we investigated the effect of generating centrifugal force as a constant inertial force during linear and circular motions, using a static state fixed on a tabletop as a reference.
