Human–robot collaboration systems aim to improve working efficiency and reduce human workload. However, inefficient assimilation of human potential behaviors often leads to increasing human–robot conflicts. In this article, a motion optimization approach integrating behavior inference is presented for physical human–robot-environment interaction (pHREI) tasks to implement assistive behavior. A multistep human behaviors model with long short-term memory (LSTM) mechanism is employed, enabling continuous prediction of the human intention based on robot and environment states. A two-layer control scheme is developed to optimize the manipulator trajectory with the objective of reducing human workload in a model predictive control (MPC) fashion. A series of experiments is conducted to verify the proposed scheme on a wood-sawing task. With the integration of the human and environment model, the proposed control scheme significantly reduces the human workload while eliminating the human–robot conflict simultaneously.</p
