Ageing of populations has emerged as one of the most pressing societal, economic and
healthcare challenges currently facing most nations across the globe. The ageing process …

Skin‐inspired sensors are all the rage in robotic applications. They take inspiration from the
human skin's sensory abilities and use their abilities to sense things like temperature and …

Skin‐stimulation technology has attracted intense attention for virtual/augmented reality
applications and tactile‐feedback systems. However, bulky, heavy, and stiff characteristics of …

Abstract O'SHEA, H. and SJ Redmond. A review of the neurobiomechanical processes
underlying secure gripping in object manipulation. NEUROSCI BIOBEHAV REV 286–300 …

Compared to relatively mature audio and video human-machine interfaces, providing
accurate and immersive touch sensation remains a challenge owing to the substantial …

Soft grasping is a great challenge for picking robots and its bionic inspiration originates from
human fingers. In this study, the hand was scanned to obtain the internal structure of fingers …

Wearable fingertip haptic devices aim todeliver somatosensory feedback for applications
such as virtual reality, rehabilitation, and enhancing hardware/physical control interfaces …

Whenever we touch a surface with our fingers, we perceive distinct tactile properties that are
based on the underlying dynamics of the interaction. However, little is known about how the …

Individual differences in tactile acuity have been correlated with age, gender and finger size,
whereas the role of the skin's stiffness has been underexplored. Using an approach to …

The emotion generated by the touch of materials is studied via a protocol based on blind
assessment of various stimuli. The human emotional reaction felt toward a material is …
