Electrostatic Actuation Induces Competing Adhesion and Vibration Regimes at Fingertip Contact

Celal Umut Kenanoglu, Michaël Wiertlewski, Yasemin Vardar

This study investigates how electrostatic actuation affects finger-surface contact by measuring contact area and force dynamics, revealing two distinct regimes: vibration and adhesion.

Role of finger movement kinematics in friction perception at initial contact with smooth surfaces

Naqash Afzal, Sophie du Bois de Dunilac, Alastair J. Loutit…·Ingvars Birznieks

The paper shows that natural finger movement kinematics enhance friction perception at initial contact with smooth surfaces, as demonstrated by improved performance in identifying slippery surfaces.
