The results of the mixed-design ANOVA on human (H) and robotic (R) demonstrators' mean movement velocities. On the left the interactions among the within-subject factors Velocity, Trajectory and Object-Directedness and the between-subject factor Group. On the right the result of the Newman-Keuls post-hoc comparisons focused on the differences between human and robotic movements performing transitive (T) and intransitive (I) motions, while covering smooth-curvilinear (SC) and jerky-segmented (JS) trajectories at different velocities (Slow, Medium and Fast).
