Tactile sensing is strategic for safe interaction of robots with humans, objects, and possibly
in an unstructured environment. In fact, contact sensing provides the most important and …

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 …

Grasping and manipulation of objects, as well as the capability interacting safely with the
environment (possibly including also humans), is a fundamental task for a humanoid robot …

Robots are now working outside of industrial fences more and more closely with humans.
Safety is the primary requirement for intimate human–robot interactions. Contacts could …

The lack of sensitive skin for the hands of humanoid robots has proven to be a key limitation
preventing human-like performance in tasks that require controlled physical manipulation of …

Modern robotic systems are gradually escaping their fenced workspace and begin to
physically interact with humans. If the physical barriers between the workspace of the robotic …

This paper describes automated procedures for the design and deployment of artificial skin
for humanoid robots. This problem is challenging under different perspectives: on the one …

In order to provide anthropomorphic robotic hands with adequate frictional contact and
proper tactile sensing during dexterous manipulation it is necessary to develop artificial skin …

Recent developments in robotics have enabled humanoid robots to be used in tasks where
they have to physically interact with humans, including robot-supported caregiving. This …

Sensorized robot skin has considerable promise to enhance robots' tactile perception of
surrounding environments. For physical human-robot interaction (pHRI) or autonomous …
