Abstract
Described herein is an apparatus and method for detecting various types of contacts, touches and complex gestures as well as allowing for their detailed and accurate characterization. In one aspect, the apparatus is an intrinsically phasic artificial mechanoreceptor. The proposed apparatus can provide biomimetic artificial skins with sensitivity to changes rather than static stimulation. It is shown that the representations of spatiotemporal mechanical signals that can be efficiently classified into various types of complex touches (gestures: stroke, scratch, slap, pinch, etc.).
