This paper deals with development of compliant artificial finger skin surface ridges with a pair of PVDF film strips embedded in each of them as sensing transducers for incipient slip detection in pursuit of elucidating the mechanism of human static friction sensing. We describe design and manufacture of the surface ridges and distinctive detection of incipient slip from rolling. Most of the conventional approaches to construction of various robot tactile sensor mechanisms hold a fundamental problem of a spatial limitation when they are attempted to be mounted on a small area of a robot fingertip for integration of their individual func- tions. This is because the limited space at a robot fingertip cannot house many sensor mechanisms without causing any mechanical interference with one another. By contact, a variety of human tac- tile perceptions are attained through integrated processing of tactile information from only several kinds of mechanoreceptors. There- fore, we consider it very important to build a tactile sensing system based upon a design policy of taking the behavior of tactile sensing elements and the tissue embedding them at the same time. Con- sequently, it becomes worth notice to realize artificial finger skin with sensing elements incorporated into the skin tissue so that they can be expected to have various robot tactile perception capabili- ties under a novel platform concept: the sensing elements should have a wider frequency detectable range and acquire meaningful information by their elaborate spatial allocation. In the study, we demonstrate the effectiveness of this design policy by pursuing in- cipient slip detection which plays an important role in elucidating the static friction sensation mechanism. For this purpose, we decided to attain vibrotactile sensing capa- bilities on a skin tissue that has softness like humans. Early, Jo- hansson et al. 1) examined in their study of human static friction
