Abstract

We investigate the effect of finger moisture on the tactile perception of electroadhesion with 10 participants. Participants with moist fingers exhibited markedly higher threshold levels. Our electrical impedance measurements show a substantial reduction in impedance magnitude when sweat is present at the finger-touchscreen interface, indicating increased conductivity. Supporting this, our mechanical friction measurements show that the relative increase in electrostatic force due to electroadhesion is lower for a moist finger.
