In this paper tactile proximity sensors for close human-robot interactions based on a
previously developed sensor are introduced. Using the same sensing technology, we …

In this paper, a tactile sensing system for an anthropomorphic robot hand is presented. The
tactile sensing system is designed as a construction kit making it very versatile. The sensor …

In this paper we base upon capacitive tactile proximity sensor modules developed in a
previous work to demonstrate applications for safe human-robot-interaction. Arranged as a …

In this paper we exemplarily outline the application of a large scale tactile sensor to provide
tactile perception to a mobile robot. The tactile sensors used within this project 1 are …

In the pursuit of developing touch sensors or tactile sensing arrays, the emphasis has only
been on the sensors. This led to a large number of 'bench top'sensors, very few of which …

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 …

For humans, the sense of touch is essential for interactions with the environment. With robots
slowly starting to emerge as a human-centric technology, tactile information becomes …

In this paper the tactile sensor 1 recently developed by the authors is experimentally tested
in manipulation applications typical of anthropomorphic robotic systems. The paper presents …

This paper presents a tactile interaction system for human-machine interaction and an active
sensing technique to realize object surface sensing for human-machine interaction tasks …

Although major research efforts were devoted in the past to the development of tactile
sensing systems for robots, a truly usable, robust, reliable and cheap system is not available …
