Measurement of Stickiness with Pressure Distribution Sensor

In this study we developed and evaluated device for the quantitative measurement of stickiness. While typical pressure distribution sensor can measure the pressing force, it cannot measure the tensile force. Hence, we installed a pin array on the sensor, which gives offset pressure to the sensor by its weight. We also show some result of measuring stickiness using natto and baby powder.
