The perceptually-inspired model of tactile texture sensor based on the inverse-magnetostrictive effect

The purpose of this study is to develop an output model to extract surface microstructure characteristics of different objects, so as to predict the response of the output voltage obtained from tactile texture sensor.

The model is based on the consideration of the inverse-magnetostrictive effect, the flexure mode, the linear constitutive equations and the strain principle.

This research predicts and investigates the effect of the texture properties on the tactile texture sensor output characteristics.

The surface texture characteristic is regarded to be important information to evaluate and recognize the object.
