- Abstract:
- The fingertip deformation represents the basic mechanical action that shapes human haptic perception. In this work, we present an experimental set up to provide, as proof of the concept, a characterization of human fingertip mechanical properties, in terms of contact area and pressure distribution. Such measures are then correlated with the output of a 3D Finite Element (FE) Model of fingertip developed in order to validate our numerical approach for further investigations.
