The Evolution of the Primate Prehensile Tail
The evolution of the prehensile tail illustrates the impact habitat can have on structural traits. Prehensile primates are able to support their entire body weight using only their tail, which opens up new feeding opportunities in their arboreal environments. This trait evolved separately in two families of New World monkeys. A transitional behaviour in its proposed evolutionary mechanism is ta...
متن کاملTemporal constraints in the control of prehensile movement.
Three experiments were conducted to investigate the control of the manipulation (i.e., finger-thumb aperture) and transportation (i.e., wrist velocity) components in prehensile movement (Jeannerod, 1981, 1984). In all experiments, subjects were seated and instructed to grasp a dowel mounted on a joystick following a discrete movement over a set distance. Thus, the amount of dowel movement follo...
متن کاملReliable non-prehensile door opening through the combination of vision, tactile and force feedback
Whereas vision and force feedback – either at the wrist or at the joint level – for robotic manipulation purposes has received considerable attention in the literature, the benefits that tactile sensors can provide when combined with vision and force have been rarely explored. In fact, there are some situations in which vision and force feedback cannot guarantee robust manipulation. Vision is f...
متن کاملMeasurement of reaching kinematics and prehensile dexterity in nonhuman primates.
A modified "Klüver" or dexterity board was developed to assess fine control of hand and digit movements by nonhuman primates during the acquisition of small food pellets from wells of different diameter. The primary advantages of the new device over those used previously include standardized positioning of target food pellets and controlled testing of each hand without the need for restraints, ...
متن کاملDecidability of Semi-Holonomic Prehensile Task and Motion Planning
In this paper, we define semi-holonomic controllability (SHC) and a general task and motion planning framework. We give a perturbation algorithm that can take a prehensile task and motion planning (PTAMP) domain and create a jointly-controllable-open (JC-open) variant with practically identical semantics. We then present a decomposition-based algorithm that computes the reachability set of a pr...
