“Effects of Ambient Temperature on Material Recognition Based on Thermal Information (Part 2)”
Presented at the Robotics and Mechatronics Conference 2025 (ROBOMECH2025).
This study investigated how ambient temperature affects material recognition based on thermal information. The results showed that material discrimination becomes more difficult when the ambient temperature is close to skin temperature, while performance improves as the difference between ambient and skin temperature increases. These findings provide new insights into the relationship between thermal perception and environmental conditions and may contribute to the design of haptic interfaces and thermal displays that can operate under diverse ambient conditions.
