In this paper, we assess the importance of visual and haptic information about materials for scaling the grasping force when picking up an object. We asked 12 participants to pick up and lift objects with six different textures, either blindfolded or with visual information present. We measured the grip force and estimated the load force from the object's weight and vertical acceleration. The coefficient of friction of the materials was measured separately. Already at an early phase in the grasp ...[more]
