We are currently investigating the best solutions for measuring the haptic properties of a product

- Depends on what do you need to measure/record: technical params or human response.
If you want to go into hedonistic properties of a product, you will probably want to look at some of the newer sensing technologies that also incorporate human reference data. Most of these are, however, closed source IP of manufacturers. Two companies to look at:
- SynTouch LLC (manufacturer of the biotact sensor)
- Battenberg Robotics (robotic solution for car interiors, only limited backing by psychophysical data in my opinion).
Furthermore, there are a couple of approaches using sensor fusion to identify surfaces, for example the work of Matti Strese (https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Matti_Strese) or a different approach by Katherine Kuchenbecker (MPI Intelligent Systems), both presented at the last IEEE WorldHaptics Conference.
As all other say - further information would probably need more information about the things you want to do... ;)
