The potential consequences of the exoskeleton upon the user\u2019s sensorimotor capacities however, remain poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to examine how the physical coupling of the user\u2019s arm to an upper limb exoskeleton influenced the perception of handheld objects. In the experimental protocol, participants were required to estimate the length of a series of bars held in their dominant right hand, in the absence of visual feedback. Their performance in conditions with an exoskeleton fixed to the forearm and upper arm was compared to conditions without the upper limb exoskeleton. Experiment 1 was designed to verify the effects of attaching an exoskeleton to the upper limb, with object handling limited to rotations of the wrist only. Experiment 2 was designed to verify the effects of the structure, and its mass, with combined movements of the wrist, elbow, and shoulder. Statistical analysis indicated that movements performed with the exoskeleton did not significantly affect perception of the handheld object in experiment 1 (BF<sub>01<\/sub>&nbsp;= 2.3) or experiment 2 (BF<sub>01<\/sub>&nbsp;= 4.3). These findings suggest that while the integration of an exoskeleton complexifies the architecture of the upper limb effector, this does not necessarily impede transmission of the mechanical information required for human exteroception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"444\" src=\"https:\/\/www.exoman.universite-paris-saclay.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-259\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.exoman.universite-paris-saclay.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image.png 550w, https:\/\/www.exoman.universite-paris-saclay.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-300x242.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The paper is entitled &#8220;Human Exteroception during Object Handling with an Upper Limb Exoskeleton&#8220;, and available in open-access here: https:\/\/www.mdpi.com\/1424-8220\/23\/11\/5158 by Dorine Arcangeli, Oc\u00e9ane Dubois, Agn\u00e8s Roby-Brami, Sylvain Fami\u00e9, Giovanni de Marco, Gabriel Arnold, Nathana\u00ebl Jarrass\u00e9 and Ross Parry Abstract Upper limb exoskeletons may confer significant mechanical advantages across a range of tasks.
