Description
Summary:Tactile feedback is important to enhance the ability of amputees to interact with various objects. In this regard, this paper presents a 3D-printed prosthetic limb with integrated biomimetic tactile sensors coupled with a feedback actuation mechanism which is integrated to a myo-electric band on the residual limb. The static and dynamic tactile sensors on 3D-printed hand were realized by using a capacitive architecture in tandem with a piezoelectric structure. The capacitive sensing structure exhibited non-linear characteristics with varying sensitivities of 0.25 kPa −1 in low pressure range (
