Performance of remote tactile sensing system integrated with magnetic synapse in different applications. (a) Different pitches of pattern recognition by the remote tactile sensing system (pattern diameter: 500 μm). (b) Different heights of pattern recognition by the remote tactile sensing system (pattern height: 250 μm, 500 μm, 750 μm, and 1,000 μm). (c) Sensing signals of the remote tactile sensing system operating in air and water. The inset shows the touch tip attached to fingers holding a baseball in water, and the LED indicates the magnitude of the applied pressure in steps of 50 kPa. (d) Measurement results of heart rate and relative blood pressure using the developed remote tactile sensing system under two different conditions: at rest and after exercise. The inset shows the remote tactile sensing system attached to a robot hand (Allegro Hand) to measure the pulse signal automatically in real time.
