Computational motor control covers all applications of quantitative tools for the study of the
biological movement control system. This paper provides a review of this field in the form of …

We explored how the perception of stiffness can be distorted in Minimally Invasive Surgery.
We combined a mechanical simulator with a haptic device, and implemented linear springs …

When manipulating objects, we use kinesthetic and tactile information to form an internal
representation of their mechanical properties for cognitive perception and for preventing …

During interaction with objects, we form an internal representation of their mechanical
properties. This representation is used for perception and for guiding actions, such as in …

Impedance-type kinesthetic haptic displays aim to render arbitrary desired dynamics to a
human operator using force feedback. To render realistic virtual environments, the difference …

In bilateral teleoperation, a human operator manipulates a remote environment through a
pair of master and slave robots. The transparency quantifies the fidelity of the teleoperation …

Time delays in haptic teleoperation affect the ability of human operators to assess
mechanical properties (dam**, mass, and stiffness) of the remote environment. To …

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 …

Background Terrestrial animals regularly move up and down surfaces in their natural
habitat, and the impacts of moving uphill on locomotion are commonly examined. However …

Stability analysis in haptic systems with delay most often overlooks the impact of the
operator, resulting in conservative stability boundaries that limit the effectiveness of haptic …
