Outline of Final Research Achievements

This project aims at an instructional strategy for presenting dynamic motion constituted from both body movements and muscle-exerting forces. The movements can be instructed by forcibly moving learner’s body parts such as his/her hand. Whereas, the learner cannot perceive the forces necessary to be exerted for accomplishing the movements since he/she need not exert his/her muscle force needed for the movements. The forces are able to be perceived by the form of reactive forces from the outside world only when the learner passively moves his/her body parts. Taking notice of this fact, this project has studied a multi-step motion learning strategy composed from the movement trajectory, force trajectory, and hybrid movement/force trajectory instruction.
