Tactile communication systems based on vibrotactile signals have been developed as
sensory substitution devices for those with visual, auditory, or vestibular impairments and to …

This paper presents a silicon MEMS based capacitive sensing array, which has the ability to
resolve forces in the sub mN range, provides directional response to applied loading and …

This paper presents the development of a MEMS based capacitive tactile sensor intended to
be incorporated into a tactile array as the core element of a biomimetic fingerpad. The use of …

Haptics can be defined as the characterization and identification of objects by voluntary
exploration and somatosensory feedback. It requires multimodal sensing, motor dexterity …

The influence of fingerprints and their curvature in tactile sensing performance is
investigated by comparative analysis of different design parameters in a biomimetic artificial …

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 …

The development of a mechatronic tactile stimulation platform for touch studies is presented.
The platform was developed for stimulation of the fingertip using textured surfaces, providing …

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 …

To study neuronal mechanisms of the sense of touch in the human hand, active or passive
protocols are used. In active touch the subjects are asked to explore tactile stimuli [1], while …

A tactile sensor for robotic applications has been developed in this study, based on the
functionality mechanoreceptors in the glabrous skin of the human hand. Four strain gauges …
