Download or read book Mechanics of Localized Slippage in Tactile Sensing written by Anh-Van Ho and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-12-24 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Localized slippage occurs during any relative sliding of soft contacts, ranging from human fingertips to robotic fingertips. Although this phenomenon is dominant for a very short time prior to gross slippage, localized slippage is a crucial factor for any to-be-developed soft sensing system to respond to slippage before it occurs. The content of this book addresses all aspects of localized slippage, including modeling and simulating it, as well as applying it to the construction of novel sensors with slip tactile perception.
