… This thesis will focus on the first aspect, that is to measure the mechanical interaction between
humans and haptic displays, in particular that of the pen grasp. Although many researchers have
already collected data about the mechanical impedance of single fingers or the arm, no data is
yet available about the … After a review of the existing literature, we will: • Introduce some tools
that will be used to analyze the mechanical impedance of the human hand: a theoretical model
of the human hand, to obtain a more general insight of the differences between single finger …
