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 …

Assistive and rehabilitation devices are a promising and challenging field of recent robotics
research. Motivated by societal needs such as aging populations, such devices can support …

This letter presents a strategy to represent data from a tactile array sensor and match it to an
object's geometric features. Using that representation, a method is presented to localise a …

There are a wide range of features that tactile contact provides, each with different aspects of
information that can be used for object grasping, manipulation, and perception. In this paper …

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 …

Our human sense of touch enables us to manipulate our surroundings; therefore, complex
robotic manipulation will require artificial tactile sensing. Typically tactile sensor arrays are …

The goal of the ROBOSKIN project is to develop and demonstrate a range of new robot
capabilities based on the tactile feedback provided by a robotic skin covering large areas of …

In this article a software architecture for acquiring, processing and presenting distributed
tactile information in real time is discussed. When humanoid robots are endowed with large …

This article introduces an extension of the original Parallel Force-Position control framework
based on the use of tactile maps. Whole body skin systems for humanoid robots are …
