In this paper, we propose a method for estimating the contact force of fingertip by inputting vibration actively. Usage of active bone-conducted sound sensing has been limited to estimating the joint angle of elbow and finger in our previous researches. Therefore, we applied it to the method for estimating the contact force of fingertip as another application. Unlike conventional methods, it is not necessary to mount the device on a fingertip, and haptic feedback is also enabled.
