Switching in Feedforward Control of Grip Force During Tool-Mediated Interaction With Elastic Force Fields

Switched systems are common in artificial control systems. Here, we suggest that the brain adopts a switched feedforward control of grip forces during manipulation of objects. We measured how participants modulated grip force when interacting with soft and rigid virtual objects when stiffness varied...
