Finger Robot Thermo Labo

• Parts of the human finger that are sensitive to temperature are covered with skin. Similarly, the machine\'s contact temperature sensor part structurally imitates the skin and is covered with silicone rubber (thickness: 0.5mm).
• The coldness and warmth felt by a person when he/she touches an object can be measured in terms of heat transfer speed q by touching the object after heating it to a certain temperature, as the heat of the temperature sensor is transferred to the object and the resulting changes in the heat signals are put through the low-pass filter in which the peak value appears 0.2 seconds later.

• The interior material for cars (instrument panel, steering wheel, door interiors, etc.)
  Electric appliances
  Building materials (flooring materials, wall materials and wallpaper)
  Toilet seats and tiles
• Hair, flesh (skin), cups (for instant food, hot drinks, takeout food), etc.

Relationship with “dryness” is investigated by measuring heat movement in hair.
