Targets hands All coupled Two coupled All uncoupled
All dependent Manipulating an elastic membrane Camera for endoscopy Triangulation (e.g. of laser beams)
Two dependent Drawing on a table with the balance of the table maintained by two arms Holding a box with two arms while opening a door with the other limb Tying shoelaces with two hands while holding an object
