Humanizing Artificial Touch: Skin, Sensing, and Structures contains recent advances in artificial skin modelling and robotic tactile sensing technologies, integrating these in the structure of an artificial hand mimicking its important features. This book will give special treatment to the relationship between the artificial skin material and embedded tactile sensors, describing how artificial skin and embedded sensors can be designed and constructed using 3D printing technologies with case examples on how these were created for amputees achieve a more a natural and rich human-robot tactile interaction.

This book is oriented towards students, researchers, and clinical practitioners who are working in the design and construction of artificial hands for prosthetics and social robotics.

John-John Cabibihan is an Associate Professor at the Department of Mechanical & Industrial Engineering, College of Engineering, Qatar University, in Doha, Qatar. He is an inventor in 18 patent families and has over 150 publications in journal articles, books, and conference papers. Dr. Cabibihan is an editorial board member of various leading scientific journals such as the IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, International Journal of Advanced Robotics Systems, and Springer Nature Applied Sciences Journal, and has been recognized as a Distinguished Scientist by Qatar University in 2021. Over the years, his work has focused toward healthcare robotics, specifically in assistive and social robotics for the therapy of children with autism, lifelike prosthetics, bio-inspired tactile sensing, human-robotic touch and gestures, and robotic surgery.
