Abstract— This paper presents a technique termed EigenNails to classify fingertip force during contact based on the coloration patterns in the fingernail and surrounding skin. ...
This paper presents a method of imaging the coloration pattern in the fingernail and surrounding skin to infer fingertip force direction during planar contact. Nail images from 7 ...
A method based on Principal Component Analysis of the fingernail coloration pattern is presented to infer fingertip force direction during planar contact. Images from 7 subjects...
—It is believed that the use of haptic sensors to measure the magnitude, direction, and distribution of a force will enable a robotic hand to perform dexterous operations. Theref...
We discuss the theory, design, and performance of a flat-panel tactile display capable of controlling shear force on a finger. In previous research a TPaD variable friction devi...
