Abstract
The sheet metal inspectors in automobile industries know that the knitted work gloves help the perception of surface undulation. We have found three mechanisms of touch enhancing on work gloves. The first one is a lever mechanism of knitted glove. The second one is a buckling phenomenon of glove which generates the tactile stimulus to the articular joint. The third one is the noise-mediated improvements, namely a stochastic resonance, which is enhancing the detectability of a weak stimulus.
