First, physical interaction between the user and device is quantitatively estimated by using a digital human simulator. Then we introduce a method for optimizing the design parameters according to given evaluation criteria. An example of trajectory optimization of transfer support robot is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method} }
