Alternatives to Friction Coefficient: Fine Touch Perception Correlates with Frictional Instabilities

2024-10-26

Abstract excerpt

Fine touch perception is often correlated to material properties and friction coefficients, but the inherent variability of human motion has led to low correlations and contradictory findings. Instead, we hypothesized that humans use frictional instabilities to discriminate between objects. Here, we constructed a set of coated surfaces with minimal physical differences, but due to differences in surface chemistry,...
