The authors review the available experimental evidence on what people do when they
grasp an object with several digits and then manipulate it. The article includes three parts …

Recent studies of visually guided reaching in monkeys support the hypothesis that the
visuomotor transformations underlying arm movements to spatial targets involve a parallel …

Previous work has highlighted the role of haptic feedback for manual dexterity, in particular
for the control of precision grip forces between the index finger and thumb. It is unclear how …

This paper describes techniques for calibrating certain intrinsic camera parameters for
machine vision. The parameters to be calibrated are the horizontal scale factor, ie the factor …

We explored the organization of motor units recorded in the flexor digitorum superficialis into
stable groups (MU-modes) and force-stabilizing synergies in spaces of MU-modes. Young …

Physics of Biological Action and Perception helps researchers interested in exploring
biological motor control from a physics or alternative viewpoint perspective. The book …

This review describes a novel view on stages in motor learning based on recent
developments of the notion of synergies, the uncontrolled manifold hypothesis, and the …

We review recent neurophysiological data from macaques and humans suggesting that the
use of tools extends the internal representation of the actor's hand, and relate it to our …

Multi-fingered robot grasping is a challenging problem that is difficult to tackle using hand-
coded programs. In this paper we present an imitation learning approach for learning and …

Control of fingertip forces in multidigit manipulation. Previous studies of control of fingertip
forces in skilled manipulation have focused on tasks involving two digits, typically the thumb …
