Abstract
This paper is a study on the measurement and valuation of touch feeling‥First, the specific feelings on wearing are collected on six underclothes through the paired comparison method handed onto 5 subjects. Next, a soft tactile sensor made of a PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride) film patch and rubber layers is assembled and slid over the same sample fabrics to collect the surface tactile information. The features on the collected data are then extracted by calculating the variance the temporal average of absolute output signal and the intensity of power spectrum density on medium frequency range. Comparison of the results show that the PVDF sensor well describes the tactile perception of human forefingers.
