This paper presents an experimental study of the bio-inspired artificial skin consisting of silicone and embedded strain gages, in which silicone imitates the epidermis and dermis, and strain gages mimic corpuscles. The strain gages are embedded in silicone under different configurations like corpuscle in humans skin. Both static displacement and dynamic excitations are applied in arbitrary positions,...
Lower limb amputees using a prosthetic device often suffer from mechanically-induced skin injuries. Shear stresses are believed to play a significant role in the formation of these skin injuries. The work presented in this paper is aimed at creating a new class of adaptive prosthetic and orthotic interfaces involving a capacitive shear stress sensor. The sensor design and transfer function are discussed...
Grasping of objects by robotic hands in unstructured environments demands a sensor surface that is durable, compliant, and responsive to various force and slip conditions. A compliant and robust skin can be as critical to grasping objects as the sensor it protects. In an effort to combine compliant mechanics and robust sensing, a biomimetic tactile sensor is being developed. Deformations of its skin...
