Haptic Devices for Studies on Human Grasp and Rehabilitation

Haptic Devices for Studies on Human Grasp and Rehabilitation by Alessandro Altobelli.

This book presents a new set of devices for accurate investigation of human finger stiffness and force distribution in grasping tasks. The ambitious goal of this research is twofold, the first is to advance the state of the art on human strategies in manipulation tasks and provide tools to assess re...
