Human-robot interaction in a shared workspace permits and often even requires physical
contact between humans and robots. A key technology to ensure that physical human robot …

Robots come into physical contact with humans in both experimental and operational
settings. Many potential factors motivate the detection of human contact, ranging from safe …

Tactile sensing is a key sensor modality for robots interacting with their surroundings. These
sensors provide a rich and diverse set of data signals that contain detailed information …

Advanced robot systems require sensory information to enable them to make decisions and
to carry out actions in a versatile, autonomous way. Humans make considerable use of …

Over the past three decades, tactile sensing has developed into a sophisticated technology.
There has been a longstanding and widely held expectation that tactile sensors would have …

This paper reviews the current state-of-the-art in tactile sens ing technology. We examine in
detail the different methods of transduction employed by tactile sensors and describe …

As the field of robotics is expanding from the fixed environment of a production line to
complex human environments, robots are required to perform increasingly human-like …

Robotic devices–limited to the structured environment of manufacturing plants until few
years ago–are slowly making way into human life, which has led to the emergence of …

Future robots are expected to work closely and interact safely with real-world objects and
humans alike. Sense of touch is important in this context, as it helps estimate properties such …
