Analysis and synthesis of human skill for the intelligent assisting system

The authors propose a new forthcoming research topic, the intelligent assisting system (ISA). Using this system they attempt to identify and analyse human manipulation skills to be used for intelligent human operator assistance. The manipulation skill database enables the IAS to perform complex manipulations on the motion control level. A model for manipulation skill based on the grip transformation matrix is proposed. They describe the experimental system setup of a skill acquisition and transfer system as a first approach to the IAS and some results confirming the calibration method of the developed sensor glove. A simple manipulation example shows the feasibility of the proposed manipulation skill model
