Thick-film force, slip and temperature sensors for a prosthetic hand

, 2005
Thick-film static and dynamic force sensors have been investigated for their suitability to measure the grip forces exerted upon an object held by a prosthetic hand, and to detect and correspondingly react to the possible slip of a gripped item.
