Abstract

This project aims to provide insights into how humans perform dexterous manipulation by simultaneously preventing object slip and control object pose (position and orientation). We pursued this aim by asking subjects to lift an object with different masses or mass distribution.

In our project, we used a force decomposition technique to separate grasp from manipulation forces together with electroencephalography (EEG), a captrack system, a motion capture device, and high density electromyography (EMG).
