“…Except Beccai et al [11], who report some slip detection results with a tactile device for an artificial hand, very little results have been published on the use of three-axial MEMS force sensor in artificial tactile sensing experiments. On the basis of Yao's model [12], CEA-LETI is producing one of these innovative sensors as individual elements and as arrays of 10 × 1 and 10 × 3 elements.…”

Abstract-Recently, several three-axial MEMS-based force sensors have been developed. This kind of force micro sensor is also called tactile sensor in literature for its similarities in size and sensitivity with human mechanoreceptors. Therefore, we believe these three-axial force sensors being able to analyse textures properties while sliding on a surface, as would do a person with his finger. In this paper, we present one of these sensors packaged as an artificial finger, with a hard structure for the bone and a soft rubber for the skin. Preliminary experiments show a good sensitivity of the finger, as its ability to sense the periodic structure of fabrics or to differentiate papers from fabrics calculating a friction coefficient. Its performance for discrimination of different surfaces is then estimated on fine textures of 10 kinds of paper. Supervised classification methods are tested on the data. They lead to an automatic classifier of the 10 papers showing good performances.

“…It has been shown that MEMS based tactile sensors can be designed and built with a 3D structure that can adequately be packaged with skin like polymeric materials so that the sensor and soft packaging become a new tactile sensible element like the Soft and Compliant Tactile Micro sensor reported in [12].MEMS sensor array and electronics for integration in a robotic finger is as shown in Figure 1. The Sensor has been mounted on a forefinger.…”

Abstract-The ability to feel the world through the tools we hold isHaptic Touch. The sensory element that will transform information into experience by remotely interacting with things is challenging. This paper deals with design and implementation of fore finger direction based robot for physically challenged people. The design of the system includes microcontroller, MEMS sensor and RF technology. The robot system receives the command from the MEMS sensor which is placed on the fore finger at the transmitter section. Robot will follow the direction in which we show our Forefinger. The path way of the robot may be either point-to-point or continuous. This sensor can be able to detect the direction of Forefinger and the output is transmitted via RF transmitter. In the receiver section RF receiver which receives corresponding signal will command microcontroller to move robot in that particular direction. Therefore the simple control mechanism of the robot is shown. Experimental results for fore finger based directional robot are enumerated.
