About
Shoha Kon is a pioneering researcher in the field of haptic sensing and tactile human-machine interaction, with a primary focus on preserving natural touch while augmenting fingertip perception. Their most notable contribution is the development of a novel "bare finger tactile sensing" system that uses excitation from the fingernail to detect edge orientation and contact position—a breakthrough that allows users to maintain their innate sense of touch while still capturing critical tactile data. This work, published in 2025 and already garnering 2 citations, addresses a fundamental challenge in skill recording and reproduction: how to measure fingertip information without compromising the user's own sensory feedback. By integrating a vibration motor and a 6-degree-of-freedom sensor, Kon's approach enables precise tactile measurement without covering the finger pad, opening new possibilities for teleoperation, virtual reality, and the preservation of expert manual skills. Their research stands at the intersection of biomechanics, sensor design, and haptics, offering an elegant solution that respects the integrity of human touch while advancing the frontiers of tactile sensing technology.
