Change of load center in finger's stroking manipulation

Abstract

Finger manipulation is a basic action of human in our daily lives. The measurement of finger manipulation is important to know person's behavior and support the work. In our study, we estimate stroking manipulation by measuring propagated wave in their finger. During stroking manipulation, load center between the finger and object changes. In this paper, we investigated relationship between the load center and stroking direction. The figure showed the measured load center by pressure sensor. The result of ANOVA and multiple comparison showed a significant difference in the average position.
