We developed a theory of human stance control that predicted (1) how subjects re-weight
their utilization of proprioceptive and graviceptive orientation information in experiments …

The multifaceted human sense of touch is fundamental to direct manipulation, but technical
challenges prevent most teleoperation systems from providing even a single modality of …

To move a hard table together, humans may coordinate by following the dominant partner's
motion [–], but this strategy is unsuitable for a soft mattress where the perceived forces are …

Stable precision grips using the fingertips are a cornerstone of human hand dexterity.
However, our fingers become unstable sometimes and snap into a hyperextended posture …

Several changes in the human sensory systems, like presbycusis or presbyopia, are well-
known to occur with physiological ageing. A similar change is likely to occur in …

This study aims to quantify the separate contributions of muscle force feedback, muscle
spindle activity and co-contraction to the performance of voluntary tasks (“reduce the …

Of particular interest to the neuroscience and robotics communities is the understanding of
how two humans could physically collaborate to perform motor tasks such as holding a tool …

Objective: Human neuromuscular reflex control provides a biological model for a compliant
hand prosthesis. Here we present a computational approach to understanding the emerging …

We studied the effect of delay on perception and action in contact with a force field that
emulates elastic soft tissue with a rigid nonlinear boundary. Such a field is similar to forces …

When a prosthetic hand grasps an object, a proper gras** force should be exerted
according to the stiffness properties of the grasped object so that damage caused by …
