Fundamental Study of Recognition in Fine Particles through Tactile Sensing with Fingers

－The Feature Extraction of Kansei Evaluation in around 60 years old by Multivariate Analysis－

Abstract

This study analyzes the recognition process of examining the texture of fine particles through tactile sensing using human fingers and aims at establishing the structure of texture recognition. Characteristic values of the tactile sensing are studied in order to investigate a relationship between tactile sensing and its verbal response. In this study, the SD method (Semantic Differential method) is used to execute the language estimation (the evaluation value) of fine particles. This paper is intended as an investigation of a feature of Kansei Evaluation in around 60 years old using multivariate analysis.
