The paper introduces a new device to image finger pad skin deformation during manipulation and reports low correlations between skin strain and grip force adaptation across participants.

The paper shows that natural finger movement kinematics enhance friction perception at initial contact with smooth surfaces, as demonstrated by improved performance in identifying slippery surfaces.

This study investigates how finger pad skin deforms under torsional forces during partial slippage, revealing how normal force and angular velocity affect strain and slip patterns.
