Description
Aims:
• Establish parallels between robot and human work
• Manipulation of the eSMCs, applying different tapping driving modalities and enhancing the peripheral actuator stiffness (as in PD patients)
• Two distinct computational eSMC models: one for discrete (< 2Hz)
and another for continuous (> 2Hz) rhythmic movements (Huys et al., 2008)
• An altered hastening model was added, in order to force the output drive to strongly follow a pre-determined rhythm set at 4Hz
