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

In the past few years a new scenario for robot-based applications has emerged. Service and
mobile robots have opened new market niches. Also, new frameworks for shop-floor robot …

Conventional industrial robots are unable to guarantee the inherent safety when working
together with humans due to the use of rigid components and the lack of force sensation. To …

This review aims to discuss the inkjet printing technique as a fabrication method for the
development of large-area tactile sensors. The paper focuses on the manufacturing …

This paper deals with the problem of using the tactile feedback generated by a robotic skin
for discriminating a human hand touch from a generic contact. Humans understand …

Using the iCub humanoid robot with an artificial pressure-sensitive skin, we investigate how
representations of the whole skin surface resembling those found in primate primary …

This paper deals with the problem of estimating the position of tactile elements (ie taxels)
that are mounted on a robot body part. This problem arises with the adoption of tactile …

The recent availability of large-scale tactile systems for robots implies the design and
development of tactile representation frameworks able to inform tactile-based robot control …

Large-scale tactile sensing applications in Robotics have become the focus of extensive
research activities in the past few years, specifically for humanoid platforms. Research …

In this paper, we present a new approach to spatially self-organize a modular artificial skin in
3D space. We were motivated by the demand to efficiently and automatically acquire the …
