Abstract

Accuracy in micromanipulation tasks is limited and it is important to identify various factors affecting it. This paper studies the effect of visual magnification, speed and handedness to micromanipulation accuracy using microscope and LCD screen for feedback. Magnification of visual feedback increases the accuracy, but large magnification does not provide further improvement beyond 16x. Further, we observed a trade off between speed and accuracy in tracing a circular path, i.e. faster speed reduces the speed control ability of the hand. Finally, dominant/non-dominant hand is found to affect accuracy in motion.
