| Research Abstract |
In the present study, sensing and displaying method of partial incipient slippage is investigated. Partial incipient slippage stands for the slippage between finger pad and object at the outside of the contact area. It occurs when humans grasp and lift the object. We have investigated on the partial incipient slippage from three different ways. First one is to utilize an elastic sensor having curved surface and PVDF films embedded inside to detect the partial incipient slippage. It was succeeded that the sensing and displaying of the partial incipient slippage is performed simultaneously. The second method is to display the partial incipient slippage to humans by use of three separate stimulators made of plane steel. It was clarified that human increase grasping force when partial incipient slippage occurs. The third one is to utilize vibratory stimuli by use of ICPF actuator allay. It is clarified that human increase grasping force when vibratory stimuli with frequency of 30Hz is applied. In conclusion, we have clarified the mechanism of partial incipient slippage detection of humans.
