Abstract

Purpose

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.

Design/methodology/approach

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

Findings

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

Originality/value

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