Humans can handle and manipulate objects with ease; however, human dexterity has yet to
be matched by artificial systems. Receptors in our fingers and hands provide essential tactile …

In this paper we examine the state of the art in tactile sensing for mechatronics. We define a
tactile sensor as a device or system that can measure a given property of an object or …

A GelSight sensor uses an elastomeric slab covered with a reflective membrane to measure
tactile signals. It measures the 3D geometry and contact force information with high spacial …

This paper surveys recently published literature on tactile sensing in robotic manipulation to
understand effective strategies for using tactile sensing and the issues involved in tactile …

We explore manipulation strategies that use vision-based tactile sensing. FingerVision is a
vision-based tactile sensor that provides rich tactile sensation as well as proximity sensing …

The perception of slip is one of the distinctive abilities of human tactile sensing. The sense of
touch allows recognizing a wide set of properties of a grasped object, such as shape, weight …

In this paper, some results concerning the detection and control of the relative motion
(slippage) of two bodies in contact are presented. The main motivation of this research can …

Slip sensing is important in robotic dexterous manipulation and in advanced upper limb
prosthetics because it provides useful information for conveniently adapting manipulation …

In this paper, a tactile sensing system for an anthropomorphic robot hand is presented. The
tactile sensing system is designed as a construction kit making it very versatile. The sensor …

This paper presents a grasp force regulation strategy for precision grasps. The strategy
makes no assumptions about object properties and surface characteristics, and can be used …
