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 …

Tactile sensors are ordinarily covered with an elastic cover to protect the sensor from being
damaged by shock or chemical contamination. The cover, however, greatly decreases the …

Detection of incipient slippage is of great importance in robotics for the control of grasping
and manipulation tasks. Together with fine-form reconstruction and primitive recognition, it …

The response of a tactile sensor system (consisting of the sensors themselves and the
material covering them) was characterized via robotic experiments. A point spread function …

It is proposed that tactile sensors be modeled mechanically with finite-element methods,
which capture the geometry and boundary conditions more faithfully than classical …

Detecting the surface shape or pressure distribution of a tactile sensor made of a
homogeneous and elastic material, given internal stresses or strains, is an ill-posed …

A linear elastic plane strain model for a cylindrical finger with a solid core and elastic surface
is developed. This model is used to determine the subsurface strain impulse responses as …

This papers analyzes the reliability of radius of curvature estimates from tactile sensor data.
A linear elastic model is used to fit the indenter parameters, load, location, and curvature, to …

Proposes a new tactile sensory structure using integrated sensing elements which the
authors call a tensor cell. It is located sparsely in a flexible body of a tactile sensor, and …

In this work we establish the fact that using Electroencephalogram (EEG) with tactile signal
during dynamic exploration accomplishes object shape recognition better than using the …
