Abstract
We aim at developing a prosthetic hand having vibration-based sensors and actuators that provide feedback to enhance body recognition. Detection of skin-propagated vibration on the prosthetic hand is reasonable because of a small number of sensors thanks to a large receptive field by the propagation and a high-temporal response. However, limiting the receptive field of each sensor is required for each finger, in order to reduce the vibration originating from an undesired area. For this issue, the present study proposes the addition of a blocking part on the skeleton of the prosthetic hand. A rigid rod covered with silicone was assembled, as a simple model of the hand, and a skin vibration sensor with a PVDF film and the blocking part were set. Results on materials and dimensions show that making a part of the rod thicker with a certain thickness and width is effective for reducing the vibration.
