This article reports on the state of the art of artificial hands, discussing some of the field's
most important trends and suggesting directions for future research. We review and group …

Tactile sensing is an essential element of autonomous dexterous robot hand manipulation. It
provides information about forces of interaction and surface properties at points of contact …

During social interaction humans extract important information from tactile stimuli that
enriches their understanding of the interaction. This process depends, however, not only on …

The perception of slip is one of the distinctive abilities of human tactile sensing. The sense of
touch allows recognizing a wide set of properties of a grasped object, such as shape, weight …

In this paper, we discuss and speculate about the concept of the Tactile Robot connected
with human operators via smart wearables as an essential multimodal embodiment of the …

We describe a novel three-finger robot hand that has high resolution tactile sensing along
the entire length of each finger. The fingers are compliant, constructed with a soft shell …

During the last decades, tactile sensors based on different sensing principles have been
developed due to the growing interest in robotics and, mainly, in medical applications …

Sense of touch is a major part of man's communication with their environment. Artificial skins
can help robots to have the same sense of touch, especially for their social interactions. This …

In this study, a PVDF thin film with one layer is designed for a 3-axis force sensor. In the
process of stretching, appropriate stretching ratio and oven temperature for heating PVDF to …

Tactile is defined as a continuous sensing of variable contact forces, heat transfer, slippage,
and various stimuli producing pain. The contact force and slip are the primary information …
