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 …

Starting from human¿ sense of touch,¿ this paper reviews the state of tactile sensing in
robotics. The physiology, coding, and transferring tactile data and perceptual importance of …

We describe the design, fabrication, and calibration of a highly compliant artificial skin
sensor. The sensor consists of multilayered mircochannels in an elastomer matrix filled with …

With the recent progress made in wearable electronics, devices now require high flexibility
and stretchability up to large strain levels (typically larger than 30% strain). Wearable strain …

The performance of robotic and prosthetic hands in unstructured environments is severely
limited by their having little or no tactile information compared to the rich tactile feedback of …

Human-interactive robots, such as those used for nursing, which share humans'
environments and interact with them, should be covered with soft areal tactile sensors for …

To improve the manipulation ability of robotic fingers, this paper proposes a design of an
anthropomorphic soft fingertip with distributed receptors. The fingertip consists of two silicon …

In this paper, we propose a tactile sensor with standing piezoresistive cantilevers embedded
in an elastic material. The sensor detects the shear stress applied on its surface. Each …

This paper proposes and demonstrates a novel flexible tactile sensor for both normal and
shear load detections. For the realization of the sensor, polyimide and polydimethylsiloxane …

To apply enactive principles within human–computer interaction poses interesting
challenges to the way that we design and evaluate interfaces, particularly those that possess …
