A MEMS-based tactile sensor to study human digital touch: mechanical transduction of the tactile information and role of fingerprints
We present recent results showing that human epidermal ridges (fingerprints) could play a central role in fine texture discrimination tasks by spatially modulating the contact stress field between the fingertip and the substrate. Using an original biomimetic finger whose surface is patterned with para...
