    Area of Science:

    • * Cognitive Psychology
    • * Robotics
    • * Human-Computer Interaction

    Background:

    • * Haptic exploratory procedures (EPs) are fundamental hand movements for perceiving object properties.
    • * Existing research often classifies these movements qualitatively, lacking detailed dynamic analysis.
    • * Understanding the quantitative differences in hand dynamics and forces during EPs is crucial for advancing haptic perception studies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • * To quantitatively investigate and differentiate hand dynamics and contact forces across various EPs.
    • * To develop and validate an EP identification model using index finger position and contact force data.
    • * To explore haptic exploratory behavior during object similarity judgments.

    Main Methods:

    • * Collected quantitative data on index finger position and contact forces during distinct EPs.
    • * Developed a machine learning model to classify EPs based on collected dynamic and force data.
    • * Applied the model to analyze haptic exploration during similarity judgments of objects with varying properties.

    Main Results:

    • * The developed EP identification model achieved over 95% correct classification, confirming distinctness and repeatability of EPs.
    • * Hand dynamics and contact forces significantly differed between various EPs.
    • * Discrimination based on material properties (hardness, roughness, temperature) was more consistent than shape-based discrimination.

    Conclusions:

    • * Quantitative analysis of hand dynamics and forces provides a robust method for identifying EPs.
    • * The developed model demonstrates high accuracy in distinguishing between different haptic exploration strategies.
    • * Haptic perception of material properties is more reliably distinguished through specific EPs compared to shape.
