Abstract:
This paper proposes a new contact model of a soft fingertip attached on a rotational finger of one degree-of-freedom. We analyze the deformation of the soft fingertip statically, and introduce a virtual spring as an infinitesimal component of the soft fingertip. We correlate the derived force equation with a pressure distribution acting on a sensing plane. Finally we compare simulation results and experimental results to demonstrate our theoretical pressure model.
