Abstract
This paper presents the results of an experiment that investigates the presence of cues in the signal generated by a low-cost Force Sensitive Resistor (FSR) to recognise surface texture. The sensor is moved across the surface and the data is analysed to investigate the presence of any patterns. We show that the signal contains enough information to recognise at least one sample surface.
