While motor interaction between a robot and human, or humans, has important implications for society as well promising applications, little research been devoted to its investigation. In particular, it is understand the different ways two agents can interact generate suitable interactive behaviors. Towards this end, paper introduces framework description implementation of behaviors performing joint task. A taxonomy introduced, which classify tasks cost functions that represent way each agent interacts. The role an interacting during task be directly explained from function minimizing constraints. novel used interpret previous works on human-robot interaction. Its power demonstrated by simulating representative interactions humans. It also enables us explain distribution switching roles when tasks.
