By means of this task, the human model guides its hand(s) to a position in the work environment and simulates a push of a button.

 

Subordinate tasks:

Move hand(s) to target, (Walk)

 

Parameter

Type

Mand.

Meaning

Target for left/right hand

Position & orientation

yes

A coordinate parameter defining the position and orientation of the target for the hand / the targets for the hands.

Actuator for left/right hand

Position & orientation

yes

A parameter defining an object which should be used as actuator (e.g. button, switch, lever or crank). If the object has an attached operating path (see chapter Parameter types / User defined parameters / User defined object parameters), this path is used for performing the task. If both actuator and target are defined, the actuator will be used with priority.

Hand posture

Selection

no

A selection parameter used to define the grasping types of the hands.

Hand (posture) percentage [%]

Floating-point number

(0.0 to 100.0)

no

A value parameter defining the degree of flexion of the fingers of the hand. The value “0” represents the “open hand”, whereas the value “100” represents the maximum “degree of flexion” of a certain grasp.

Automatic walking

Checkbox

yes

A decision parameter determining whether the human model will automatically walk to the indicated target point / target object.

Body movement type

Selection

no

A selection parameter used to select the upper body motion to be used.

Movement type

Selection

no

A selection parameter predefining a motion direction to the target.

Look leg movement

Checkbox

no

A decision parameter determining whether the human model is allowed to squat or not during the motion.

Reverse path

Checkbox

no

If an operating path is defined on the object / Actuator, see section Parameter types / User defined parameters / User defined object parameters, then by activating this checkbox, the hand movement for the task execution could be simulated in the reverse path direction.

Keep hand posture

Checkbox

no

A decision parameter determining whether the adopted grasping posture will be maintained after completion of the task or whether the hand(s) will be opened again.

Posture left/right hand / arm

Selection

no

A selection parameter defining the different hand and arm positions for the current task and the subsequent tasks. For a detailed description, see chapter Performance library under Hand / arm position left / right.

Process time [s]

Floating-point number

no

A value parameter determining the duration of actuation / pressing per cycle.

Cycle count [#]

Integer

(1 to 100)

yes

A value parameter defining how often the the actuation should be performed.

Adjust precisely

Checkbox

no

A decision parameter determining whether the task is executed approximately or precisely (relevant for time analysis).

 

iThe target must be indicated for at least one hand.

iThe target(s) must be within the reach of the human.
