Study Notes
Sensorimotor Control of Dexterous Manipulation
- Human ability to manipulate objects has established dominance over other species.
- The human hand's versatility plays a critical role in object manipulation.
Control of Fingertip Forces
- Object manipulation involves managing load (weight) and grip forces.
- Load forces are the downward force due to gravity, while grip forces counteract this.
- The relationship between grip force (GF) and load force (LF) is crucial for stability.
Slip Force and Grip Force Ratio
- The slip force is the critical grip force level below which an object slips from grasp.
- Grip force must remain higher than slip force to ensure safe handling.
- As object weight increases, grip force must also increase to match the load force.
Grip to Load Force Ratio
- The grip:load force ratio must exceed a critical slip ratio for grasp stability.
- This slip ratio is inversely proportional to the coefficient of friction between the fingertip skin and the object.
- Safety margins against slips are determined by the difference between applied grip:load ratios and slip ratios.
Load-Grip Force Coupling
- Predictive feedforward control is utilized during object manipulation.
- Grip force is modulated in real time to align with fluctuations in load force, indicating an anticipatory strategy.
- Feedback control would introduce delays, contrasting with the predictive nature of anticipatory control.
Anticipatory Control Policies
- Anticipatory Parameter Control (APC) relies on sensory inputs and past experiences to inform action.
- Predicted weight helps in planning, even when the exact properties of an object are unknown.
- Discrete Event Sensory Driven Control (DESC) engages pre-programmed responses to unexpected sensory events.
Responses to Erroneous Predictions
- If weight is misjudged too high, unexpected lifting may occur.
- If weight is underestimated, lifting will not happen as anticipated, triggering corrective actions.
- Real-life examples include misjudging the position of objects based on visual distractions.
Catch-Up and Tracking Responses
- Grip responses consist of a ‘catch-up response’ for immediate adjustment and a ‘tracking response’ for gradual grip force increase.
- The catch-up response compensates for delays caused by reaction time and is influenced by sensory feedback.
- Both responses form an essential part of the adaptive strategies employed during object manipulation.
