Abstract
AbstractIn human-in-the-loop control systems, operators can learn to manually control dynamic machines with either hand using a combination of reactive (feedback) and predictive (feed-forward) control. This paper studies the effect of handedness on learned controllers and performance during a trajectory-tracking task. In an experiment with 18 participants, subjects perform an assay of unimanual trajectory-tracking and disturbance-rejection tasks through second-order machine dynamics, first with one hand then the other. To assess how hand preference (or dominance) affects learned controllers, we extend, validate, and apply a non-parametric modeling method to estimate the concurrent feedback and feedforward controllers. We find that performance improves because feedback adapts, regardless of the hand used. We do not detect statistically significant differences in performance or learned controllers between hands. Adaptation to reject disturbances arising exogenously (i.e. applied by the experimenter) and endogenously (i.e. generated by sensorimotor noise) explains observed performance improvements.
