Abstract
A stable conformal interface technology for rough and sweaty complex skin is essential for a haptic interface capable of delivering sophisticated mechanical stimuli. However, conventional adhesives cannot maintain adequate adhesion at the haptic interface due to repetitive vibrations or sweaty skin. This study reports a reversible, versatile skin-attached haptic interface platform, which embeds the hybrid architecture of a water-drainable hexagonal array of frog toe pads and the energy-dissipation matrix of snail pedal muscles with interconnected structures. This adhesive patch exhibits remarkable adhesion in pulling and shear directions under both dry and sweaty conditions, also, resulting in vibration-resistant characteristics. The bioinspired skin-attached haptic interface demonstrates versatility by being reversibly applicable to various skin surfaces such as fingers, arms, and legs in virtual reality.
