Abstract:Catching requires the ability to predict the position and intercept a moving object at relatively high speeds. Because catching is a contact task, it requires an understanding of the interaction between the forces applied and position of the object being captured. The application of force to a mass results in a change in acceleration. The rate of change of acceleration is called jerk. Jerk causes wear on the manipulator over time and can also damage the object being captured. This paper uses a curve that asymp… 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.
