Table 2 Statistical results for number of re-grasps, wrist peak velocity, acceleration and deceleration time rates. Results of ANOVA tests (F) and its post-hoc comparisons, and results of the Friedman tests (χ2) and its post-hoc comparisons with T-Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test (W) or Sign test (S). For the post-hoc test, p-values (padj) are adjusted with the Bonferroni correction. Significant results (p < 0.05) are highlighted in boldface. R Rigid object, I Intermediate object, D Deformable object.
