Tactile sensing is a key sensor modality for robots interacting with their surroundings. These
sensors provide a rich and diverse set of data signals that contain detailed information …

Human hands can rapidly perceive the stiffness of an object and quickly adapt to different
soft and hard objects by adjusting the grasp force of each finger. However, patients with …

Soft optical tactile sensors enable robots to manipulate deformable objects by capturing
important features such as high-resolution contact geometry and estimations of object …

A PID sliding mode position controller and an adaptive sliding mode controller are
presented for a prosthetic hand. The adaptive controller modulates the PID gains based on …

A force controller and an adaptive controller are presented for a prosthetic hand. The
adaptive controller modulates the force feedback gain based on the detected stiffness of the …

This paper analyzes grasp synthesis in multi-fingered robot arm equipped with a tactile
sensor to handle objects located at arbitrary positions. We developed an 11-dof multi …

With the advent of robotic solutions in both the home and industrial environments comes the
need for robots that can dependably perceive and manipulate unstructured or deformable …

It is difficult to solve an optimization problem in smart devices software due to a trade-off
relation between quality conditions and performance properties. Furthermore, development …

In order to progress robust object recognition of robots, we present an algorithm for object
exploration based on three-axis tactile data that is necessary and sufficient for evaluation of …

This paper presents experimental results of object handling motions to evaluate tactile
slippage sensation in a multi fingered robot arm with optical three-axis tactile sensors …
