An instrumented object for studying human grasping.

This paper proposes the use of an instrumented object for the study of the human grasping strategies. The proposed object is able to measure the grasping forces by means of three Force Sensitive Resistor (FSR) sensors and triaxial acceleration through an accelerometer. The object orientation angles (roll and pitch) can be estimated from the accelerometer output in quasi-static condition, whereas slippage events can be detected through the Power Spectrum Density (PSD) computation of the acceleration on at least one of the three axes. An experimental session on 7 healthy subjects has been performed; each subject used the instrumented object to perform 8 tripod grasp trials. All the sensory information, i.e. applied forces, object orientation and slippage, have been analyzed in order to evaluate the grasping strategies of the different subjects.
