Abstract:
Comparing active and passive modes with wrist flexion/extension motions, the authors examined the posture angle perception and reproduction characteristics through psychophysical experiments using a mechanically haptic wrist interface: mean values and standard deviations of the perceptual/reproduced angle errors were obtained, and were examined by ANalysis Of VAriance (ANOVA). The characteristics can be applied to wearable haptic interfaces employing kinesthetic sensations in a form of an instruction scheme referred to as a “restrained instruction”: the restrained instruction is based on the idea that the just-noticeable small amount of externally applied forces being would be enough for learners to trigger voluntary motions with their body elements.
