The question of how the inverted position of a pendulum can be stabilized is of fundamental
importance for understanding human balancing tasks. Applications range from postural …

Virtual balancing tasks facilitate the study of human motion control: human reaction to the
change of artificially introduced parameters can be studied in a computer environment. In …

The critical length that limits stabilizability for delayed proportional‐derivative‐acceleration
(PDA) feedback and for predictor feedback (PF) is analyzed for the inverted pendulum …

A planar stick balancing task was investigated using stabilometry parameters (SP); a
concept initially developed to assess the stability of human postural sway. Two subject …

Human reaction delay significantly limits manual control of unstable systems. It is more
difficult to balance a short stick on a fingertip than a long one, because a shorter stick falls …

The effect of reaction delay, temporal sampling, sensory quantization, and control torque
saturation is investigated numerically for a single-degree-of-freedom model of postural sway …

We formulate the calibration-control dilemma which occurs in most interesting out-of-
equilibrium dynamical systems in the natural and social sciences. Despite a lack of …

Human stick balancing is investigated in terms of reaction time delay and sensory dead
zones for position and velocity perception using a special combination of delayed state …

Seven novice subjects participated in experiments of stick balancing on a linear track in the
anterior-posterior (AP) and the medio-lateral (ML) directions. The goal of the experiments …
