Quantifying the Dimensions of Human Hand Dexterity Through a Survey of Daily Tasks
نویسنده
چکیده
The concept of dexterity and its dimensions have been difficult to define through the years, and various research communities have different definitions of dexterity. In this paper, we present a novel approach to understand people’s perception of dexterity and its different dimensions in daily tasks. The approach entails a video-based survey where people score different tasks along pre-specified dimensions of dexterity. The results show how the dimensions contribute to an overall dexterity score as well as the importance of each dimension.
