Additional information

This paper describes the development of the first artificial fingertip which has similar mechanical properties of real fingertips. It has attracted much attention from different research areas: Berselli for robotics (Italy), Mylon for medical equipment (UK), Mith for product design (France) and Derler for textile design (Switzerland).
