Abstract
A control system includes a locomotion device that is configured to accompany a moving object such as a human operator or a robotic device. The control system is configured to control a motion of the locomotion device based on a location of at least one of the moving object relative to the locomotion device or a location of the locomotion device relative to the moving object. The control system is configured to control the locomotion device to maintain a position of the locomotion device with respect to the moving object to thereby synchronize the motion of the locomotion device with a motion of the moving object.
