Artificial Skin Ridges Enhance Local Tactile Shape Discrimination

Artificial Skin Ridges Enhance Local Tactile Shape Discrimination

One of the fundamental requirements for an artificial hand to successfully grasp and manipulate an object is to be able to distinguish different objects’ shapes and, more specifically, the objects’ surface curvatures. In this study, we investigate the possibility of enhancing the curvature detection...
