Multisensory Softness

Part of the book series: Springer Series on Touch and Haptic Systems ((SSTHS))

Abstract

In order to perform activities such as pressing keys on a keyboard, checking whether a piece of fruit is ripe, determining whether a bike tire is low on air, and shaking another person’s hand, it is necessary to have an understanding of the object’s compliance, or the relationship between one’s applied force and the resulting change in position of one’s hand.
