Textile-like soft and flexible products are widely used in our daily life. Understanding the relationship between the tactilesensations of textiles and the tactile stimuli is essential for developing humanoid robot’s finger haptic system, especiallyfor certain kind of robot systems such as service robots and exploratory robots. This paper built a frequency space thatcan qualitatively represent a roughness sensation of textiles by a developing independently random match algorithm incombination with neurophysiological features of cutaneous mechanoreceptors. The experimental results show that thesum of amplitude in frequency range between 18 and 118 Hz can effectively describe the roughness sensory of textilewith accuracies of 98.5%. In other words, by applying the sum of amplitude in frequency range between 18 and 118 Hzcould successfully match roughness sensation of textiles, and it will help engineer of humanoid robot design manipulatorfinger haptic system in textile field.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
