In recent decades, modeling of Lacrosse - Protective - Arm soft fingertips has fascinated a superior momentum in research initiatives concerned with development of an anthropomorphic soft finger tip.In design and development of soft fingertips, analysis of contact a characteristic plays a vital role on dexterous manipulation.This research work presents the results of the experimental investigation in relation to the formulations of contact area for soft fingertips pressed against assorted target profiles.A dimensionless parameter, curve factor Y (r/R) is introduced to derive a parametric relationship among the key parameters.It also addresses the growth of contact area of fingertips for five different combinations.

From experimental observations, a modified power law equation with conversion factor (X) giftbox_ghost_product is proposed to interpolate the magnitude of contact area for different profiles.
