TY  - JOUR
AB  - Trimanual operation using a robotic supernumerary limb is a new and challenging mechanism for human operators that could enable a single user to perform tasks requiring more than two hands. Foot-controlled interfaces have previously proven able to be intuitively controlled, enabling simple tasks to be performed. However, the effect of going from unimanual to bimanual and then to trimanual tasks on subjects performance and coordination is not well understood. In this paper, unimanual, bimanual and trimanual teleoperation tasks were performed in a virtual reality scene to evaluate the impact of extending to trimanual actions. 15 participants were required to move their limbs together in a coordinated reaching activity. The results show that the addition of another hand resulted in an increase in operating time, where the time increased in going from unimanual to bimanual operation and then increased further when going from bimanual to trimanual. Moreover, the success rate for performing bimanual and trimanual tasks was strongly influenced by the subject's performance in ipsilateral hand-foot activities, where the ipsilateral combination had a lower success rate than contralateral limbs. The addition of a hand did not affect any two-hand coordination rate and even in some cases reduced coordination deviations. Clinical relevance - This work can contribute to build efficient training and learning framework on human multiple limbs motion control and coordination for both rehabilitation and augmentation.
