The Biomechanics of the Tactile Perception of Friction

by Laurence Willemet ...

Series series Computer Science (R0)
Humans rely on their sense of touch to perceive subtle movements and micro slippages to manipulate an impressive range of objects. This incredible dexterity relies on fast and unconscious adjustments of the grip force that holds an object strong enough to avoid a catastrophic fall yet gentle enough not to damage it.The Biomechanics of the Tactile Perception of Friction covers how the complex ...
