In this paper, we present a new approach to realize whole-body tactile interactions with a
self-organizing, multi-modal artificial skin on a humanoid robot. We, therefore, equipped the …

In this paper, we present a new approach to spatially self-organize a modular artificial skin in
3D space. We were motivated by the demand to efficiently and automatically acquire the …

Human–robot collaboration has demonstrated its potential to increase efficiency and
productivity in industry. However, inherently safe collaborative robots offer limited payloads …

In this paper, we present a new approach to automatically acquire the kinematic model of a
robot equipped with a multi-modal, modular artificial skin. Here, we make use of the tri-axial …

In this paper we propose an adaptive algorithm for safe physical human-robot collaboration
using admittance control. Our approach adopts tactile sensors as a physical communication …

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 …

Human skin provides numerous inspirations for robots, supplying the whole body surface
with multi-modal tactile sensitivity. Unlike a robot purely relying on joint information or vision …

In this paper we present a performance analysis of a perceptual architecture for industrial
robots based on tactile sensing. We have developed a human-robot interface based on …

Within the past decade, extensive research has been done on large-scale tactile sensing, as
a result of which, a large variety of robot skins have been developed. These robot skins are …
