Two Experimental Devices for Record and Playback of Tactile Data

A tactile record and playback system will progress tactileology—a new cross-disciplinary field related to sensations—as it enhance its use in the instruction, archiving, analysis of human manipulation. In this paper, we describe two key devices for achieving tactileology: a sensor capturing sense (fingernail color sensor) robotic sensor, both which can detect not only normal force but also tangential force. This is beneficial because people manipulate objects tools various ways, such as grasping, picking, rubbing. The fingernail registers three-dimensional (3D) applied fingertip by detecting change caused blood distribution under fingernail, be observed with green illumination miniature camera. Since more complicated than using relationships between image 3D are learned convolutional neural network (CNN). finger transforms into bright area an illuminated acrylic core, rubber skin, We measure brightness movement area, respectively. Using gauge or electronic scale measurement, perform series evaluation experiments. experimental results show that precision sufficient our system.
