Dear subscribers,
Several weeks ago I posted a call for information regarding measurements
of hand kinematics during grasping and object manipulation. I am including
a summary of the responses. I take this opportunity to thank all those who
responded. It seems that there is very little experimental data available
though there is a great demand for it in several fields. I would welcome
any comments on this topic.
Sincerely,
