For the experiments, we select a set of five different ‘daily life’ objects shownin Figure 2b. These objects have three types of surfaces: flat (e.g. one side ofthe eyeglasses case and the cubic box),
Tactile perception of the material properties in real-time using tiny embedded systems is a challenging task and of grave importance for dexterous object manipulation such as robotics, prosthetics and
The perceived distance between two touches has been found to be larger for pairs of stimuli oriented across the width of the body than along the length of the body, for several body parts. Nevertheles
