The role of skin hydration, skin deformability, and age in tactile friction and perception of materials

Abstract Friction between fingertip and surface is a key contribution to tactile perception during active exploration of materials. We explore the role of skin factors such as stratum corneum thickness and hydration, deformability, elasticity, or density of sweat glands and of Meissner corpuscles in...
