Intuitive control in robotic manipulation

Robotic manipulation, in terms of both hardware implementation and control schemes, has been recently explored in depth and drastically advanced. A notable robotic application that is actively being explored is a master-slave control in robotic manipulation. The extension of human ability by introducing user-controlled robots is of great interest. Intuitiveness has been discussed to further increase the user's ability through improvements in engineering measures such as accuracy, time delay, or task completion time. To further investigate intuitiveness, this chapter discusses a psychophysical aspect of master-slave control, by introducing the concept of multisensory illusion.
