Toward human-like touch sense via a bioinspired soft finger with self-decoupled bending and force sensing
Inspired by the human hand, Wang et al. propose a bioinspired soft finger with self-decoupled bending and force sensing via a seamlessly integrated conductive fiber coil. The bioinspired soft finger is capable of human-like object softness detection by a simple touch and is demonstrated for lump examination and pulse-taking like a “robodoctor.”
