Advantages of the approach
Cost-effective
Low quality captors
Human-like (compatible)
Hierarchical strategy (planning & navigation)
Avoidance and goal-seeking behaviors
Linear speed is inversely related to angular speed
2005 Technology and Persons with Disabilities conference
Viviani & Terzuolo (Neuroscience, 1982)
Movement’s velocity is proportional to the radius of curvature
2005 Technology and Persons with Disabilities conference
Disadvantages of the autonomous approach
Errors due to the poor quality of captors
Full automation is not possible
Exploration, changes in plan during action,…
2005 Technology and Persons with Disabilities conference
Human-machine cooperation is needed

We observe the « power-law » described by Viviani et al. In natural movements
2005 Technology and Persons with Disabilities conference
This type of study has to be pursued, notably because
we tested here only "healthy" young volunteers
This methodology has to be adapted
to handicapped populations
Conclusions (1/3)
2005 Technology and Persons with Disabilities conference
However, this experimental approach suggests
1) that the implementation of "human-like" visuo-motor coupling models on complex assistance devices
might improve human-machine compatibility
Conclusions (2/3)
2005 Technology and Persons with Disabilities conference
Further, this experimental approach suggests
2) that, beyond raw performance,
the evaluation of the similarity between teleoperated
movements and "natural" (non-mediated) movements
might constitute an interesting way to foresee the usability
of an assistance device
Conclusions (3/3)
