Soft robots have been extensively researched due to their flexible, deformable, and adaptive
characteristics. However, compared to rigid robots, soft robots have issues in modeling …

Tactile sensing is an important perception mode for robots, but the existing tactile
technologies have multiple limitations. What kind of tactile information robots need, and how …

Multimodal haptic perception is essential for enhancing perceptual experiences in
augmented reality applications. To date, several artificial tactile interfaces have been …

The ability to associate touch with other modalities has huge implications for humans and
computational systems. However multimodal learning with touch remains challenging due to …

An emerging line of work has sought to generate plausible imagery from touch. Existing
approaches, however, tackle only narrow aspects of the visuo-tactile synthesis problem, and …

Touch sensing can help robots understand their surrounding environment, and in particular
the objects they interact with. To this end, roboticists have, in the last few decades …

For humans, the process of grasping an object relies heavily on rich tactile feedback. Most
recent robotic grasping work, however, has been based only on visual input, and thus …

Reproducing the capabilities of the human sense of touch in machines is an important step
in enabling robot manipulation to have the ease of human dexterity. A combination of robotic …

A vision-based tactile sensor (VBTS) is an innovative optical sensor widely applied in robotic
perception. The VBTS consists of a contact module, an illumination module, and a camera …
