Baseline. Contact force profile against a rigid constraint. (A–F) Parallel control model results. (G–L) Experimental results (mean ± s.d. over all subjects) with (darker intervals) and without visual feedback. The force trajectory follows a smooth temporal profile in the forward direction (A,G), reaching a peak of 10 N, without a significant component in the lateral direction (B,H). As expected, the motion in both forward (D,J) and lateral (E,K) direction is negligible. The panels on the right (C,F,I,L) display the vector plots of the applied forces and endpoint motions. The force vectors grow along the y-axis and the hand position remains confined to the origin.
