Sensing texture using an artificial finger and a data analysis based on the standard deviation
The results from experiments with a screen-printed piezoelectric sensor, mounted on an 23 artificial finger-tip and including a cosmetic covering, are shown to detect surface information from 24 regular texture patterns. For the automatic control of an artificial hand and to feedback information to 25 the amputee, an algorithm has been developed based on the standard deviation of signal data from the 26 sensor. The standard deviation analysis for texture detection is novel as it uses a combination of 27 arithmetic processes. It windows the data sequentially and calculates the standard deviation of the data 28 in the windows and then averages the standard deviations. The output from the algorithm is the 29 frequency spectrum of a signal. Plots for the output from the algorithm show events that correspond to 30 the cyclic waveforms produced from the regularity of object surface patterns. The results from the 31 algorithm are confirmed with an analysis of the signals using Fast Fourier Transforms.

Abstract
The results from experiments with a screen-printed piezoelectric sensor, mounted on an 23 artificial finger-tip and including a cosmetic covering, are shown to detect surface information from 24 regular texture patterns. For the automatic control of an artificial hand and to feedback information to 25 the amputee, an algorithm has been developed based on the standard deviation of signal data from the 26 sensor. The standard deviation analysis for texture detection is novel as it uses a combination of 27 arithmetic processes. It windows the data sequentially and calculates the standard deviation of the data 28 in the windows and then averages the standard deviations. The output from the algorithm is the 29 frequency spectrum of a signal. Plots for the output from the algorithm show events that correspond to 30 the cyclic waveforms produced from the regularity of object surface patterns. The results from the 31 algorithm are confirmed with an analysis of the signals using Fast Fourier Transforms.
