| Research Abstract |
Sensing ability of a human fingertip depends on receptors which are in a skin of the fingertip. We developed a robotic fingertip with a soft cover and a hard nail. In addition, tactile elements mimicking human receptors are embedded in the robotic fingertip. In the experiments, the tactile elements of the robotic fingertip show similar characteristics to the receptors of the human fingertip. Slip detection by using the tactile elements is successfully demonstrated.
