Abstract
The accurate detection of incipient object slippage is essential for grip control. This study aimed to replicate the sensation of losing grip by simulating a ‘partial slip’ phenomenon, in which the outer area of a contact point fluctuates slightly while the center of contact stays still. Two types of stimulation methods were used: electrotactile stimulation, chosen for its superior spatial and temporal resolution, which facilitates the precise replication of the partial slip area; and air-suction stimulation selected for its stable pressure sensation. We conducted an experiment to evaluate the effectiveness of each stimulation method, both independently and in combination, in terms of their ability to realistically convey the sensation of slippage, including the perceptual clarity of the slip occurrence and its direction. Results showed that the electrotactile stimulation was proficient in presenting distinct sensations of slippage and its direction while also providing some realism. Moreover, it was observed that the incorporation of suction notably enhanced the realism of the tactile sensation, particularly when used in conjunction with electrotactile stimulation.
