Abstract
We regularly coordinate our eyes and our hands movements in our daily tasks. While these tasks seem obvious to us, in reality a complex model is hidden behind these. Thus, the visual and the haptic systems are analysed in several tracking tasks. In that respect, the role of the vision in the hand tracking task, the role of the hand proprioception in the eye tracking task, the role of the trajectory predictability and the role of the hand used are studied. For this purpose, a protocol was realised with the KINARM robot and some volunteers. The results support observations from the scientific literature and contribute to the understanding of the different roles of the elements constituting the internal model for the coordination between the hands and the eyes.
