| Abstract | Machine-mediated teaching of dynamic task completion is typically implemented with passive intervention via virtual fixtures or active assist by means of record and replay strategies. During interaction with a real dynamic system however, the user relies on both visual and haptic feedback in order to elicit desired motions. This work investigates skill transfer from assisted to unassisted modes for a Fitts' type targeting task with an underactuated dynamic system. Performance, in terms of between target tap times, is measured during an unassisted baseline session and during various types of assisted training sessions. It is hypothesized that passive and active assist modes that are implemented during training of a dynamic task could improve skill transfer to a real environment or unassisted simulation of the task. Results indicate that transfer of skill is slight but significant for the assisted training modes |
