Initial contact shapes the perception of friction

L Willemet, K Kanzari, J Monnoyer… - Proceedings of the …, 2021 - National Acad Sciences
Humans efficiently estimate the grip force necessary to lift a variety of objects, including
slippery ones. The regulation of grip force starts with the initial contact and takes into …

The biology of skin wetness perception and its implications in manual function and for reproducing complex somatosensory signals in neuroprosthetics

D Filingeri, R Ackerley - Journal of neurophysiology, 2017 - journals.physiology.org
Our perception of skin wetness is generated readily, yet humans have no known receptor

A novel optical 3D force and displacement sensor–Towards instrumenting the PapillArray tactile sensor

H Khamis, B Xia, SJ Redmond - Sensors and Actuators A: Physical, 2019 - Elsevier
As robots move into unstructured environments, tactile sensing will become an essential
capability of any robotic gripper attempting to engage in dexterous object manipulation …

The tactile perception of transient changes in friction

D Gueorguiev, E Vezzoli, A Mouraux… - Journal of The …, 2017 - royalsocietypublishing.org
When we touch an object or explore a texture, frictional strains are induced by the tactile
interactions with the surface of the object. Little is known about how these interactions are …

Fast grip force adaptation to friction relies on localized fingerpad strains

BP Delhaye, F Schiltz, F Crevecoeur, JL Thonnard… - Science …, 2024 - science.org
During object manipulation, humans adjust the grip force to friction, such that slippery
objects are squeezed more firmly than sticky ones. This essential mechanism to keep a …

PapillArray: An incipient slip sensor for dexterous robotic or prosthetic manipulation–design and prototype validation

H Khamis, RI Albero, M Salerno, AS Idil… - Sensors and Actuators A …, 2018 - Elsevier
The major failing of robotic and prosthetic grippers in mimicking the dexterity of the human
hand is thought to be a lack of adequate tactile sensing which provides feedback for grip …
