Summary of Experiment #2

Subjects 10 (9 males, 1 female)

Task pick-and-place of a microbead

Conditions Kinesthetic + Position-Error feedback (K + Pe)
Vibrotactile + Position-Error feedback (Vb + Pe)
No force feedback (N)

Video available as supplemental material

Best conditions (average)
Completion time K + Pe (25.78 s)
Gripper’s path length K + Pe (22.97 mm)
Distance between reference and gripper Vb + Pe (1.11 mm)
Drop-off error Vb + Pe (0.76 mm)
Perceived effectiveness K + Pe (6.52)

Statistical analysis (one-way repeated measures ANOVA)
  Completion time (no significant difference)
  Gripper’s path length (p < 0.001, significant p values only)
K+Pe vs. N p = 0.002
Vb+Pe vs. N p < 0.001
  Distance between reference and gripper (p < 0.001, sig. p values only)
K+Pe vs. N p < 0.001
Vb+Pe vs. N p < 0.001
  Drop-off error (no significant difference)
  Perceived effectiveness
K+Pe vs. Vb+Pe p = 0.011
K+Pe vs. N p = 0.001
Vb+Pe vs. N p = 0.022
