The Role of Exploratory Conditions in Bio-Inspired Tactile Sensing of Single Topogical Features

The Role of Exploratory Conditions in Bio-Inspired Tactile Sensing of Single Topogical Features

We investigate the mechanism of tactile transduction during active exploration of finely textured surfaces using a tactile sensor mimicking the human fingertip. We focus in particular on the role of exploratory conditions in shaping the subcutaneous mechanical signals. The sensor has been designed b...
