Abstract:The present paper investigates human mechanical impedance during the operation of a virtual steering system according to dual-arm configurations. The developed steering system using an impedance-controlled robot can accurately estimate mechanical impedance properties around the rotational axis. Experimental results demonstrate that a human changes his/her impedance properties in both the grip position on a steering wheel and the magnitude of steering torque. Overall stability of a human-steering system is then… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
