82 Human Inspired Dexterity in Robotic Manipulation

Even though the dynamic environment considered in this study was
represented by relatively simple flexible objects, the results obtained can
be instructive for motion planning and control of robotic systems, especially
when the production of human-like movements is desirable. The latter is
important in the context of human-robot interaction, because the robots
of the future will have the ability to predict and accommodate to human
movements. In this situation the knowledge of human control strategies
may be useful and, hopefully, beneficial for the design of the corresponding
control algorithms.
