Using Haptics To Identify Human Contact Control Strategies For Six Degree-of-Freedom Tasks
Proceedings of the World Haptics Conference
[From Abstract]:
Transferring human contact-manipulation skills to robots is complicated by the combinatorial growth in contact state descriptions with object and environment complexity, with no systematic method to characterize the subset of contact states that humans actually control. In this paper, we present an approach to determine whether human subjects control specific contact states.

Haptic fMRI: Combining functional neuroimaging with haptics for studying the brain's motor control representation.
IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
[From Abstract]:
"A challenging problem in motor control neuroimaging studies is the inability to perform complex human motor tasks given the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanner's disruptive magnetic fields and confined workspace. In this paper, we propose a novel experimental platform that combines Functional MRI (fMRI) neuroimaging, haptic virtual simulation environments, and an fMRI-compatible haptic device for real-time haptic interaction across the scanner workspace.... We…[From Abstract]:

Human Motion Reconstruction and Synthesis of Human Skills
Advances in Robot Kinematics: Motion in Man and Machine, Springer Netherlands
[From Abstract]:
Reconstructing human motion dynamics in real-time is a challenging problem since it requires accurate motion sensing, subject specific models, and efficient reconstruction algorithms. A promising approach is to construct accurate human models, and control them to behave the same way the subject does. Here, we demonstrate that the whole-body control approach can efficiently reconstruct a subject’s motion dynamics in real world task-space when given a scaled model and marker…[From Abstract]:

A promising approach is to construct accurate human models, and control them to behave the same way the subject does. Here, we demonstrate that the whole-body control approach can efficiently reconstruct a subject’s motion dynamics in real world task-space when given a scaled model and marker based motion capture data.Other authors -
