Perceived compliance in a pinch

Perceived compliance in a pinch

Handling a compliant object using a pinch grasp provides sensory information about deformation and resistive force from both index finger and thumb. In this paper, an object with rigid surfaces and composed of two compliant materials fixed on a central position is used to address how information from the two fingers is integrated into a holistic percept of compliance. Results indicate that with...

Persistence of a pinch in a pipe

The response of low-dimensional solid objects combines geometry and physics in unusual ways, exemplified in structures of great utility such as a thin-walled tube that is ubiquitous in nature and technology. Here we provide a consequence of this confluence of geometry and physics in tubular structures: our analysis shows that the persistence of a localized pinch in an elastic pipe whose effect ...

Manual discrimination of compliance using active pinch grasp: the roles of force and work cues.

In these experiments, two plates were grasped between the thumb and the index finger and squeezed together along a linear track. The force resisting the squeeze, produced by an electromechanical system under computer control, was programmed to be either constant (in the case of the force discrimination experiments) or linearly increasing (in the case of the compliance discrimination experiments...
