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 tactile image sensor employing a camera is capable of obtaining rich tactile information
through image sequences with high spatial resolution. There have been many studies on …

Tactile sensing is an essential component in human–robot interaction and object
manipulation. Soft sensors allow for safe interaction and improved gripping performance …

This paper reviews the existing vision-based tactile sensor (VBTS) designs reported in the
literature. Although some reviews on VBTSs already exist in the literature. We believe it is …

Introduction: This review presents noteworthy advances in clinical and experimental
Capsule Endoscopy (CE), focusing on the progress that has been reported over the last 5 …

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 …

Recently, a variety of positioning and tracking methods have been proposed for capsule
robots moving in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract to provide real-time unobstructed spatial pose …

Optical tactile sensors play a pivotal role in robot perception and manipulation tasks. The
membrane of these sensors can be painted with markers or remain markerless, enabling …

This paper proposes a clamper-based and motor-driven capsule robot (CMCR) for exploring
the intestinal tract. The CMCR, measuring Φ14 mm× 46.8 mm, is composed of a front facing …

Wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) is an emerging technology that aims to detect pathology
in the patient gastrointestinal tract. Physicians can use WCE to detect various …
