Abstract :
This paper addresses the characteristics of human impedance learning during reaching movement. The motor learning model during a reaching movement proposed in our previous work predicts that the adjustment of hand´s impedance must be calculated based on state value of the biological controlled systems in human brain. Several results in psychophysical experiments are shown in this paper to reveal the human impedance characteristics. The experiment was designed by using high-performance manipulators.
