Robot, Pass Me the Tool: Handle Visibility Facilitates Task-oriented Handovers
summary
A VR experiment tests whether making a tool’s handle visible speeds and improves handovers: using a physics-based simulator PrendoSim to precompute ~1,000 grasps per object, researchers sample 120 trials with 17 participants and three tools (hammer, screwdriver, scissors) and compute a pixel-based handle visibility metric (four bins, >80% = high). High visibility measurably lowers planning and execution time, reduces head and hand motion, increases handle grasps, and raises holdability and usability ratings.
