Theoretical approach of studying human fingers modelled as inflated membranes and experimental validation of study

Abstract

The human hand has evolved to become the most complex and versatile grasping and manipulation tool. The fingers play a crucial role in acquiring information about touched objects through tactile and thermal sensors. Specifically, the fingertips are densely packed with touch and thermal receptors, which have the highest concentration of cells responsible for transmitting stimuli to the brain.
