Abstract
The stick/slip distribution in the contact area between the finger and grasped object is important information for precision grip of human. The deformation of finger in precision grip depends on the stick/slip distribution. Therefore the device displaying sensation of local slip makes it easy to grasp objects using remote controlled mechanical hand. The purpose of this paper is to design the device displaying sensation of local slip using finite element analysis. As a result of analysis, it is confirmed that there is possibility of displayng sensation of local slip using the tactile display device which stimulates finger through the deformation of an elastic body.
