In recent years we have seen tremendous progress in the development of robotic solutions
for minimally invasive surgery (MIS). Indeed, a number of robot-assisted MIS systems have …

In this article, we present a reconstruction method for mapping a wide range of pressure
stimuli in a multitouch soft optical waveguide skin (MSOWS). Distributed sensing information …

Artificial tactile sensing is fundamental in many fields, such as robotics, prosthetics,
wearable systems, or haptics [1–4]. From a transduction point of view, mainly resistive-and …

Sensing and localising pressure resulting from physical interaction between a robot and its
environment is a key requirement in the deployment of soft robots in real-life scenarios. In …

Abstract 1 Mechanoluminescence is a well-known phenomenon of light emission induced
by deformation when certain solids suffer external mechanical stress. Mechano-luminescent …

Sensing and locating pressure stemming from the physical interaction between a soft robot
and its environment is crucial for deploying such robots in real-life scenarios. Sensors …
