Error fields: personalized robotic movement training that augments one’s more likely mistakes by Naveed Reza Aghamohammadi, Moria Fisher Bittmann, Verena Klamroth-Marganska, Robert Riener, Felix C. Huang, James L. Patton

“…The current study evaluates error fields (EF) method, where the interactive robot tempers its augmentation when the error is less likely. 22 healthy participants were asked to learn moving with a visual transformation, and we enhanced the training with error fields. We found that training with error fields led to greatest reduction in error. …”
