Electronic skin with tactile perception enables intelligent robots and prostheses to perform
dexterous manipulation and natural interaction with the human and surroundings. However …

Handling liquid-filled containers is a frequently encountered yet challenging task for
robotics. In this paper, a novel capacitive proximity skin was developed to measure liquid …

Despite recent exponential advancements in computer vision and reinforcement learning, it
remains challenging for robots to interact with liquids. These challenges are particularly …

In modern highly dynamic robot manipulation, collisions between a robot and objects may
be intentionally executed to improve performance. To distinguish between these deliberate …

Service robots are often required to determine the liquid level inside a container. However,
traditional approaches using camera-based or ultrasonic wave sensors are unreliable and …

During the co-presence of human workers and robots, measures are required to avoid
injuries from undesired contacts. Capacitive Proximity Sensors (CPSs) offer a cost-effective …

Thermal properties are significant for recognizing an object's material but cannot be
determined via visual and stiffness (or tactile)–based recognition techniques. Most studies …

Abstract Objects that are made of different materials are difficult to distinguish by vision and
sensing alone when they are similarly shaped and colored. This is especially important in …

Uncertainties in grasp prediction for unknown, arbitrarily shaped objects in cluttered
environments and un-certainty of the kinematics (eg, series elastic robots or soft robots) can …

Non-contact ultrasonic sensors are generally used for range measurement and object
detection. In addition to the shape and size of the target object, the identification of the …
