This article presents a holistic approach to the engineering of an artificial robot skin for
robots. An example of a multimodal skin cell is given, one that supports multiple human-like …

Robots operating in unstructured environments must be capable of safely handling
unexpected collisions with objects existing in the surrounding area, possibly without …

The design and validation of a continuously stretchable and flexible skin sensor for
collaborative robotic applications is outlined. The skin consists of a PDMS skin doped with …

Mechanism calibration is an important and nontrivial task in robotics. Advances in sensor
technology make affordable but increasingly accurate devices such as cameras and tactile …

Robots performing tasks in challenging environments must be supported by control or
planning algorithms that exploit sensor feedback to effectively plan the robot's actions. In this …

The accuracy of robot models critically impacts their performance. With the advent of
collaborative, social, or soft robots, the stiffness of the materials and the precision of the …

Robots were largely missing the sense of touch for decades. As artificial sensitive skins
covering large areas of robot bodies are starting to appear, to be useful to the machines …

Algorithms for tactile data processing heavily rely on the generation of tactile images
representing the contact pressure distribution. This approach allows to exploit existing …

Tato práce přichází s metodou kalibrace umělé kůže robota pomocí 3D rekonstrukce ze
snímků z RGB-D kamery. Kalibrace se provádí na robotovi iCub, který je vybaven kůží z …

Tactile data processing or classification is commonly performed using tactile images, ie two-
dimensional representation of the applied contact. When tactile sensors cover the whole …
