Abstract
In active touch, tactile perception is bidirectionally related to the exploratory
movements. This means that exploration influences perception, but also
perception influences exploration. We can optimize or change the exploratory
movements according to the perception and/or the task, consciously or unconsciously.
In this paper, a psychophysical experiment on roughness perception is
presented. Exerted normal force in different perceptual tasks (discrimination task
and scaling task) using rough and smooth stimuli are collected. The results show
that humans use a greater variation in contact force for the smooth stimuli than
for the rough stimuli.
