In the human hand, high-density contact information provided by afferent neurons is
essential for many human grasping and manipulation capabilities. In contrast, robotic tactile …

Manipulation tasks often require robots to make contact between a grasped tool and another
object in the robot's environment. The ability to detect and estimate the positions and …

Force measurements become important once contact has occurred and the object is held or
explored by the hand. The uncertainty associated with the fingertip contact position and the …

We present a data-driven approach to simulate the BioTac tactile fingertip sensor within
physics engines. The behavior of the sensor is first captured in an experimental setup that …

Contact localization is an essential feature of tactile sensors for biomedical, rehabilitation,
surgical, and service robot applications where interaction with the environment is needed. In …

Purpose This paper aims to estimate contact location from sparse and high-dimensional soft
tactile array sensor data using the tactile image. The authors used three feature extraction …

In this paper, we investigate the use of 3-dimensional (3D) force sensors in a prosthetic
hand. 3D force sensing in prostheses can be used to incorporate intelligent grasping …

Touch is one of the most important human capabilities. If vision can help people to recognize
the environment, touch is the fine controller for all motions. Tactile sensors measure …

Physical human-robot interaction is becoming crucial in an increasing number of
applications, from health care to industrial processes, with many types of robots: serial …

This work reports the evaluation of a tactile sensor for the potential of using it to measure the
compliance of folding cartons. A tactile sensor would make it possible to measure the …
