a Characteristics of the stimuli provided by our Bioinspired Adaptable Multiplanar mechano-vibrotactile Haptic (BAMH) system through the fingertip interface, where SA and FA refer to the slow and fast adapting corpuscles, respectively. b The main components of the soft compliant fingertip interface are the silicone sleeve, the pneumatic pipes for increasing the internal pressure of the chambers, and the Hook-and-Loop fastener bands for tightening the interface to the finger. c Fingertip interface dimensions and internal structure, where E is a lateral area exhibiting the two chambers per area and the stimuli distance d is the edge-to-edge distance between the area’s chambers. d The seven areas are defined using clockwise (CW) direction and the distal phalanx natural landmarks, e.g., the distal interphalangeal crease and the proximal nail fold.
