Abstract:
The investigation of human perception and movement kinematics during manipulation tasks provides insights that can be applied in the design of robotic systems in order to perform human-like manipulations in different contexts and with precision requirements. In this paper we investigate motor control in an unload precision task, in which a tool is moved vertically until it touches a support surface. We evaluate how acoustic and haptic sensory information generated at the moment of contact modulates the kinematic parameters of the movement. Experimental results show differences in the achieved motor control precision and provide insights into the different weights given to haptic and acoustic information.
