Biggest Mistakes Beginners Make

Overlooking Material Compatibility

Many beginners fail to consider how different artificial surfaces interact with the underlying mechanisms or human tissue, leading to integration issues.

Ignoring Maintenance Requirements

Artificial surfaces require specific maintenance protocols that are often neglected, reducing their effectiveness and lifespan significantly.

Underestimating Sensor Integration Complexity

The integration of sensors into artificial surfaces requires careful planning and expertise that beginners often underestimate.

Glossary

Haptic Feedback

Technology that recreates the sense of touch by applying forces, vibrations, or motions to the user.

Biocompatibility

The ability of a material to perform with an appropriate host response in a specific application.

Elastomer

A polymer with viscoelasticity, generally having low Young's modulus and high yield strain.

Tactile Sensor

A device that measures information arising from physical interaction with its environment.

Self-Healing Materials

Materials that have the ability to repair damage caused by mechanical usage over time.

Nanocomposite

A multiphase solid material where one of the phases has dimensions of less than 100 nanometers.
