Space Perception by the Midpoint Indicating Using Proprioceptive Information

Proprioceptive perception of phase variability.

Previous work has established that judgments of relative phase variability of 2 visually presented oscillators covary with mean relative phase. Ninety degrees is judged to be more variable than 0 degrees or 180 degrees, independently of the actual level of phase variability. Judged levels of variability also increase at 180 degrees. This pattern of judgments matches the pattern of movement coor...

2-d Contact Detection and Localization Using Proprioceptive Information 2-d Contact Detection and Localization Using Proprioceptive Information

This paper employs proprioceptive information (joint angles and torques) to estimate properties of the contact between a planar robot and an unknown object without speciically requiring strategic manipulator motions. The algorithm presented tackles this task in two stages; a contact localization analysis is followed by a force domain contact detection analysis. In the former, the instantaneous ...

1993 IEEE 2-D Contact Detection and Localization Using Proprioceptive Information Roderic A. Grupen and Manfred Huber Laboratory for Perceptual Robotics Department of Computer Science University of Massachusetts, Amherst MA 01003 Abstract Knowledge of contact properties is important to interact with an unknown object in the environment. This paper presents a method to provide this information f...

Space Perception by Visuokinesthetic Prediction

Proprioceptive Body Illusions Modulate the Visual Perception of Reaching Distance

The neurobiology of reaching has been extensively studied in human and non-human primates. However, the mechanisms that allow a subject to decide-without engaging in explicit action-whether an object is reachable are not fully understood. Some studies conclude that decisions near the reach limit depend on motor simulations of the reaching movement. Others have shown that the body schema plays a...
