| Research Abstract |
The aim of this study is the development of an artificial fingerincluding human tactile mechanism and the representation of human touch with it. Thestructure of subcutaneous tissue with fibers was focused and its mechanical effect fortactile perception was confirmed through the FEM analysis and the experiment. Then, anartificial finger was assembled on the basis of the structure including fibers and itwas confirmed that the specific tactile phenomenon, which is generated with only the humanfinger or hand, is generated with the artificial finger. In addition, impulse forcegenerators utilizing snap葉hrough buckling of elastic objects and a variable stiffnessmechanism utilizing elastic objects and metallic frames were investigated for actuatorsof the artificial finger.
