Human Hand Biomechanics

At UW's Neurobotics Lab, I have been exploring the fundamentals of neural control and human hand biomechanics. There are many open questions in the functioning of the human hand. Questions such as how are humans able to control their limbs with such precision, or how do the physical properties of the musculo-skeletal system contribute to the wide range of motions we perform daily are explored.  Specifically, my project explores the individual contributions of passive dynamics and active control of the hand in fine manipulation tasks. Experiments are underway.
