Fingernail Touch Sensors

"My doctoral thesis research project was the development of "Fingernail Touch Sensors" for human-machine interaction. These sensors can detect touch forces at the human fingertip as well as changes in finger posture by measuring the color pattern of the fingernail. Thus they do not interfere with the human's natural sense of touch." -- Stephen Mascaro

Mascaro is director of the BioRobotics Lab and is affiliated with the Robotics Program at the University of Utah.
