SACST smart anthropomorphic contact surface technology.

In this article, we present the ongoing research work of smart anthropomorphic contact surface technology (SACST) and applications in robotics and human-augmented systems. Integrating MEMS technology with contact theory and intelligent-control techniques, SACST can alter the behavior of contact surf...
